On May 12, 2025, a recall was issued for a feed additive mix identified as Evodren, following the detection of Garcinia Cambogia and its derivatives. This incident originated in France and falls under the category of bio-contaminants, which are substances that can pose a risk to health due to biological factors.
The presence of Garcinia Cambogia, a tropical fruit extract often used in dietary supplements, raises concerns regarding its safety when introduced into animal feed products. The recall aims to mitigate potential risks associated with the consumption of affected products by animals, which could have further implications for food safety.
The recall was announced by Rappel Conso, a French platform dedicated to informing consumers about product recalls. It is essential for consumers and stakeholders in the agricultural sector to stay informed about such incidents to ensure the safety and quality of feed products. Authorities continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary.
As this incident illustrates, bio-contaminants in feed products can lead to significant health concerns, prompting immediate action to protect both animal and human health. The recall serves as a reminder of the importance of quality control in the production and distribution of feed additives.
