Food Safety Alert: Contamination Detected in Olive Oils
On November 14, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported concerning a variety of olive oils originating from Spain. The incident has been categorized under control measures due to the detection of high levels of Mosh/Moah, which are contaminants that can pose health risks to consumers.
Mosh (Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons) and Moah (Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons) are substances that can migrate into food products from packaging materials or during processing. The presence of these contaminants in food items, particularly in olive oils, raises serious concerns regarding food safety and consumer health.
Consumers are advised to remain vigilant and check for any recalls or advisories related to olive oil products. It is essential to ensure that any olive oil purchased is sourced from reputable suppliers and meets safety standards. The food safety authorities are actively investigating the source of contamination and are implementing necessary measures to prevent further incidents.
As always, proper food handling and storage practices should be followed to minimize risks associated with food contaminants. For more information on food safety and updates regarding this incident, consumers are encouraged to consult relevant food safety organizations and authorities.
