Food Safety Alert: Allergenic Ingredient Detected in Non-Alcoholic Beverages
Date: October 31, 2025
A recent incident reported through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF) has raised concerns regarding the safety of non-alcoholic beverages. Allergenic ingredients, specifically hazelnut, have been detected in these products. This finding poses a significant risk to individuals with nut allergies, as even trace amounts of allergens can trigger severe reactions.
The incident originated in South Korea, where the affected non-alcoholic beverages were distributed. Consumers who are allergic to hazelnuts or have sensitivities to nuts are advised to exercise caution and avoid consuming these products until further information is available. It is crucial for manufacturers and retailers to ensure that their products are clearly labeled, especially when they contain potential allergens.
Food safety authorities are currently investigating the source of the contamination and are working to implement measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. Consumers are encouraged to stay informed about food safety alerts and to report any adverse reactions to their health authorities.
As always, it is essential for consumers to read ingredient labels carefully and to be aware of any allergens that may be present in food and beverage products. Ensuring food safety is a shared responsibility among producers, retailers, and consumers alike.
