On October 8, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving a variety of strawberries originating from France. The Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF) has identified the presence of oxamyl and related terms in these strawberries, categorizing the issue under contaminants.

The detection of this contaminant raises serious concerns regarding the safety of the affected strawberry products. Consumers are advised to exercise caution and avoid consuming strawberries that may be linked to this incident until further investigations and safety assessments are completed.
Food safety authorities are likely to initiate recalls and further testing to ensure that all contaminated products are removed from the market.
