Date: October 14, 2025
A recent food safety incident has been reported involving the detection of Bacillus cereus in various tofu varieties and recipes originating from Austria. This bio-contaminant poses a significant health risk, particularly as it can lead to foodborne illnesses if consumed.
Bacillus cereus is a type of bacteria commonly associated with food products that can cause gastrointestinal issues. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which can be particularly severe in vulnerable populations such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
Consumers are advised to exercise caution when preparing and consuming tofu products. It is essential to ensure that all tofu is cooked thoroughly and handled with proper hygiene practices to minimize the risk of contamination. Additionally, individuals should be vigilant about checking for any recalls or safety notices related to tofu varieties they may have purchased.
This incident has been reported through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF), which monitors food safety across Europe. Authorities are currently investigating the source of contamination and taking necessary measures to ensure public safety.
