Food Safety Incident Report
Date: October 2, 2025
A recent food safety incident has been identified concerning a lack of necessary product identification in borage oil powder. This incident has been reported through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF) and is categorized under control and recall measures.
Borage oil powder, which is derived from the seeds of the borage plant, is often used for its potential health benefits, including its high gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) content. However, the absence of proper product identification raises significant concerns regarding traceability and consumer safety. Without adequate labeling, consumers may be unaware of the origin, processing methods, or potential allergens associated with the product.
This incident originated in India, highlighting the importance of stringent regulatory measures and compliance with food safety standards to ensure that all food products, including dietary supplements, are properly identified and safe for consumption.
Consumers are advised to be cautious and to seek products that provide clear labeling and identification. Regulatory authorities are taking necessary actions to address this issue and ensure that all food products on the market meet safety and quality standards.
For further updates, consumers should monitor announcements from food safety authorities and remain informed about the products they choose to consume.
