Food Safety Alert: Detection of Dioleic Acid in Collagen Products
Date: September 23, 2025
Recent findings have raised concerns regarding the safety of certain collagen products originating from Germany. The Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reported the detection of dioleic acid in these products, which falls under the category of food safety incidents. This alert serves to inform consumers and industry stakeholders about potential risks associated with the consumption of these collagen products.
Dioleic acid is a fatty acid that, while not inherently harmful, may pose health risks when present in food products beyond acceptable levels. The presence of such substances in dietary supplements and food additives can lead to adverse health effects, particularly for individuals with specific dietary restrictions or sensitivities.
Consumers are advised to exercise caution when purchasing collagen products, especially those sourced from the affected region. It is essential to check for any recalls or safety notices issued by relevant authorities. Additionally, individuals should consult with healthcare professionals regarding the consumption of these products, particularly if they have existing health conditions or are pregnant.
As the situation develops, further investigations will be conducted to assess the extent of the issue and to ensure that all necessary measures are taken to protect public health. Stay informed and prioritize safety when selecting dietary supplements and food additives.
