Food Safety Alert: Detection of Brilliant Blue FCF in Food Product
On September 17, 2025, a food safety incident was reported involving the detection of Brilliant Blue FCF (E 133) in a food product known as Pianka. This incident originated in Poland and falls under the category of food control, specifically concerning food ingredients and compounds.
Brilliant Blue FCF is a synthetic dye commonly used in various food products to enhance visual appeal.

Authorities are currently investigating the source of this contamination to ensure that appropriate measures are taken to protect public health. Consumers are advised to remain vigilant and check for any updates regarding the safety of Pianka and similar products. It is crucial for food manufacturers to adhere strictly to food safety standards to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
For those involved in food production and distribution, this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of rigorous quality control measures and compliance with food safety regulations to safeguard consumer health.
