Food Safety Recall Notice
Date: October 17, 2025
The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan has announced a recall of certain jelly candy variants due to the detection of a missing allergen: apple. This incident raises significant concerns regarding food safety, particularly for individuals with allergies to apples.
Consumers are advised to check their jelly candy products for any labels indicating the presence of apple as an ingredient. The absence of this allergen on the packaging could pose a serious risk to those who are allergic, potentially leading to severe allergic reactions.
It is crucial for consumers to remain vigilant and review their purchased products. If you have jelly candy variants in your possession that do not clearly state the presence of apple, it is recommended to dispose of the product or return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
Food safety is a shared responsibility, and awareness of allergens is vital in preventing health risks. The authorities are working diligently to ensure that all affected products are removed from the market to protect consumer health.
For further information and updates regarding this recall, please refer to official announcements from health authorities.
