Incident Report: Battery Issues and Lithium Compounds in Nutritional Supplements
Date of Incident: October 15, 2025
On October 15, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported concerning nutritional supplements originating from Estonia. The issue was identified through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF), which serves as a critical communication tool for food safety alerts across Europe.
The primary concern involves the detection of battery issues and the presence of lithium compounds within these nutritional supplements. Such contaminants pose serious health risks to consumers, as lithium can have adverse effects on the human body when ingested inappropriately. The presence of battery components in food products is particularly alarming, as it raises questions about the safety and integrity of the manufacturing processes involved.
Authorities are urging consumers to exercise caution and to refrain from using any nutritional supplements that may be affected by this incident. It is essential for consumers to stay informed about the products they consume and to report any adverse reactions or concerns to health authorities.
As this situation develops, further investigations will be conducted to determine the extent of the contamination and to implement necessary measures to protect public health. Consumers are advised to check for updates and to follow guidance from health officials regarding the safety of nutritional supplements.
