On November 21, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of cbd and hemp extracts in several food products originating from Belgium. This incident falls under the category of control and has been classified as a bio-contaminant hazard.
The presence of bio-contaminants in food can pose serious health risks to consumers, particularly for those with sensitivities or allergies. It is crucial for food safety authorities and consumers alike to remain vigilant regarding the quality and safety of food products. The detection of these extracts in various foods raises concerns about the potential for unintended consumption of substances that may not be properly labeled or regulated.
