On April 29, 2025, a significant recall was initiated due to the detection of Bacillus cereus in ginger products and extracts. This incident falls under the category of bio-contaminants, raising concerns regarding food safety.
The contamination was identified by the Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (FASFC), which oversees the safety and quality of food products. Bacillus cereus is a bacterium that can cause foodborne illness, making this recall crucial for public health considerations.
