On June 3, 2025, it was reported that meloxicam, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, has been detected in canned food products originating from the United States of America. This discovery has raised significant concerns regarding food safety and the potential contamination of consumer products.
The incident has been categorized under fraud, highlighting the serious nature of the issue as it pertains to the integrity of food production and distribution systems. The presence of meloxicam in food products poses risks, as it is not an approved ingredient for human consumption in these contexts.
