On October 20, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported concerning the detection of acetamiprid, a pesticide, in dried raisins and related products originating from Türkiye. This finding has raised concerns regarding the safety of these food items, which are commonly consumed as snacks or used in various culinary applications.
Acetamiprid is classified as a contaminant and poses potential health risks if ingested in significant quantities. The presence of such contaminants in food products can lead to adverse health effects, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children, pregnant women, and individuals with compromised immune systems.

It is crucial for consumers to remain vigilant and check the sources of their food products, especially dried fruits, which are often enjoyed for their convenience and nutritional benefits.
As a precaution, it is advisable for consumers to avoid purchasing dried raisins and related products from the affected origin until further notice. Regulatory authorities are expected to conduct thorough investigations and implement necessary measures to ensure that food products are safe for consumption.
