Food Safety Alert: Salmonella Detected in Chorella Powder

On August 29, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of Salmonella bacterial strains in Chorella powder. This incident has been categorized under control measures due to the potential health risks associated with bio-contaminants.

The source of the contamination has been traced back to France, raising concerns about the safety of this dietary supplement. Chorella powder is widely used for its nutritional benefits, but the presence of Salmonella poses a serious health risk, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly, pregnant women, and individuals with weakened immune systems.

Consumers are advised to exercise caution and refrain from using Chorella powder until further notice. It is crucial to stay informed through reliable sources and adhere to any recommendations issued by health authorities. The Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF) is actively monitoring the situation and will provide updates as they become available.

Food safety is paramount, and incidents like this highlight the importance of rigorous testing and quality control measures in the food supply chain. Always ensure that dietary supplements and food products are sourced from reputable suppliers and are free from contaminants.
