Food Safety Alert: Inadequate Procedures Detected in Root and Tuber Vegetables
On October 23, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported concerning root and tuber vegetables originating from China. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has identified inadequate procedures associated with these products, which fall under the category of control incidents.
