On November 28, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of histamine in marinated anchovy fillets with various flavors and seasonings. This incident, categorized under contaminants, raises serious concerns regarding the safety of the affected food products.
Histamine is a naturally occurring compound that can lead to foodborne illness when present in high levels, particularly in fish products.
