Food Safety Alert: Detection of Allura Red AC in Breakfast Cereal Rolls
On September 19, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving breakfast cereal rolls flavored with cinnamon. The product was found to contain Allura Red AC (E 129), a synthetic food coloring that has raised concerns regarding its safety and potential health effects.
This incident originated in Poland and falls under the category of food control, specifically related to food ingredients and compounds. The presence of Allura Red AC in food products is subject to strict regulations, as it may pose health risks to certain individuals, particularly those with sensitivities or allergies to artificial colorants.
The detection of this compound in breakfast cereal rolls highlights the importance of rigorous testing and monitoring of food products to ensure consumer safety. Allura Red AC is commonly used in various food items, but its presence in products not labeled for such ingredients can lead to unintended exposure for consumers.
