Food Safety Alert: Detection of Dehydroacetic Acid in Lychee Flavored Mooncakes
On November 14, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of Dehydroacetic Acid (E 265) in lychee flavored mooncakes. This incident originated from China and falls under the category of food ingredients and compounds.
