Food Safety Alert: Contamination of Poultry Products
On October 20, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of monensin and monensin sodium in poultry and poultry products originating from Poland. This finding raises serious concerns regarding the safety of these food items for consumer health.
Monensin is an antibiotic commonly used in veterinary medicine, primarily for the prevention of coccidiosis in poultry. However, its presence in food products intended for human consumption can pose health risks, including potential toxicity. The detection of such substances in poultry products indicates a failure in food safety controls and highlights the importance of stringent monitoring and regulation in the food supply chain.
The incident has been categorized under control measures, emphasizing the need for immediate action to prevent contaminated products from reaching consumers. Authorities are urged to conduct thorough investigations and implement necessary measures to ensure that poultry and poultry products are safe for consumption.
Consumers are advised to stay informed about this incident and to check for any updates regarding the safety of poultry products. It is crucial to prioritize food safety and to be aware of the potential hazards associated with contaminated food items.
