Incident Report: High Aloin and Aloin Content Detected in Aloe Vera Products and Supplements
On October 24, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported regarding the presence of high levels of aloin and aloin content in aloe vera products and dietary supplements. This issue was identified through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF) and is categorized under food ingredients and compounds.
