Food Safety Alert: Frankincense Resin Detected in Types of Paste
On October 16, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of frankincense resin in various types of paste. This issue originated from Turkey and has been categorized under control measures due to potential health risks associated with the consumption of contaminated food products.
Frankincense resin, while traditionally used for its aromatic properties and in certain cultural practices, is not a recognized ingredient in food products. Its presence in food items, particularly in pastes, raises concerns regarding food safety and consumer health. The Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF) has issued a notification to ensure that relevant authorities and consumers are aware of this contamination.
Consumers are advised to be cautious and to check the ingredients of any paste products they may have purchased, especially those sourced from Turkey. It is essential to discard any products that may contain frankincense resin to avoid potential adverse health effects.
Food safety authorities are actively investigating the source of this contamination and are implementing necessary measures to prevent further incidents. It is crucial for manufacturers to adhere to strict food safety standards to ensure the safety and well-being of consumers.
