Food Safety Alert: Gluten Allergen Detected in Bulgur
On October 29, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported concerning various types of bulgur originating from Spain. The Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF) has issued a notification regarding the detection of gluten allergens in these products.
Bulgur, a popular grain product often used in salads, side dishes, and various cuisines, is typically considered safe for individuals who do not have gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. However, the presence of gluten in bulgur can pose serious health risks to those with gluten allergies or intolerances. Symptoms of gluten exposure can range from gastrointestinal distress to more severe allergic reactions, making this incident particularly concerning for affected consumers.
Consumers are advised to check their bulgur products for any allergen warnings and to avoid consumption if they are sensitive to gluten. Retailers and distributors are urged to remove the affected products from shelves and to notify customers of the potential risks associated with these bulgur types.
This incident underscores the importance of stringent food safety measures and allergen control in food processing. It is crucial for manufacturers to ensure that their products are accurately labeled and free from unintended allergens to protect consumer health.
For further updates and information, consumers should stay informed through official food safety channels and alerts.
