On June 3, 2025, authorities reported the detection of sorbic acid in various canned food products originating from the United States of America. This incident has been categorized as a case of fraud, raising concerns regarding the integrity of food ingredients and compounds used in these products.

Sorbic acid is a compound often utilized as a preservative in food items. Its presence in canned products, however, has triggered scrutiny, as such additives must be disclosed and regulated according to food safety standards. The Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance, known as Россельхознадзор, has been instrumental in addressing this issue, emphasizing the importance of monitoring food safety and compliance with established regulations.

The implications of this incident underline the necessity for vigilance in food production and distribution, ensuring that all ingredients used adhere to safety protocols. As investigations continue, stakeholders are urged to remain informed about the developments surrounding this incident and its potential impact on consumer safety.
