Food Safety Alert: Contamination Detected in Flour Products
On October 22, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported concerning various types of flour. The incident, originating from Slovenia, has raised concerns due to the detection of chlorpyrifos and its derivatives, which are classified as contaminants.

The detection of this chemical in flour indicates a failure in food safety controls, necessitating immediate action to protect public health.
Consumers are advised to be cautious and check any flour products they may have purchased. It is crucial to stay informed about the source and safety of food items, especially those that may be affected by this contamination. Proper cooking and handling practices are essential to minimize risks associated with contaminated food products.
Authorities are currently investigating the extent of the contamination and will provide updates as more information becomes available. In the meantime, individuals are encouraged to report any adverse health effects related to the consumption of flour products to their local health authorities.
