Food Safety Alert: Pesticide Residues Detected in Mango-Related Products
On October 2, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported concerning mango-related products and variations. The Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF) indicated that residues of clothianidin, a pesticide, have been detected in these products. This finding raises concerns regarding the safety of consuming mangoes and related items originating from Egypt.
Understanding the Hazard
Clothianidin is a neonicotinoid pesticide that is often used in agricultural practices. While it is effective in controlling pests, its presence in food products can pose health risks to consumers. The detection of pesticide residues in food items is categorized under contaminants, which can lead to potential adverse health effects if consumed over certain limits.
Consumer Guidance
Consumers are advised to exercise caution when purchasing mango-related products, particularly those sourced from Egypt. It is essential to check for any recalls or advisories issued by food safety authorities. Washing fruits thoroughly before consumption can help reduce pesticide residues, but it is not a guarantee of complete safety.
Food safety authorities are currently investigating the extent of the contamination and will provide further updates as more information becomes available. It is crucial for consumers to stay informed and prioritize food safety in their purchasing decisions.
