On July 30, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported concerning garlic powder variants, which were found to contain Mosh/Moah high content. This contamination was traced back to products originating from China.
The detection of Mosh (Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons) and Moah (Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons) in food products raises concerns due to their classification as contaminants. These substances are typically associated with industrial processes and can inadvertently enter the food supply chain, posing potential risks to consumer safety.
This incident falls under the category of control, indicating that measures need to be implemented to manage the presence of such contaminants in food products. The information regarding this issue was disseminated through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF), which is a crucial platform for tracking and responding to food safety alerts across Europe.
As a response to this incident, further investigations and testing are expected to ensure the safety of garlic powder variants and protect public health. Stakeholders in the food supply chain are urged to remain vigilant in monitoring for potential contaminants to maintain food safety standards.
