On February 18, 2025, a significant incident involving fraudulent and improper health certificates for a variety of sesame seeds was reported. This issue has been traced back to Sudan, raising concerns within the food safety community regarding the integrity of food products entering the market.
The incident falls under the category of control, specifically highlighting issues related to adulteration. The fraudulent documents pose a risk not only to consumers but also to the reputation of legitimate suppliers and exporters in the region.
The information regarding this incident has been disseminated through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) portal, which serves as a critical tool for monitoring food safety across the European Union. RASFF notifications are essential for keeping stakeholders informed about potential hazards in food products, enabling them to take appropriate actions.

The detection of such fraudulent activities is a reminder of the importance of maintaining rigorous standards in food safety and certification processes.
