On October 10, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of pesticide residues in vine leaves in various forms. This alert was issued through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF) and originates from the United Arab Emirates.
The specific pesticide identified in the vine leaves is spirotetramat, which is used in agricultural practices to control pests.
