On March 12, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reported the detection of illegal food additives in assorted candies originating from Canada. This incident falls under the category of control and is classified as a case of adulteration.
The presence of unauthorized substances in food products raises significant concerns regarding consumer safety and product integrity.
