Food Safety Alert: Sulfur Dioxide Detected in Chili Powder Varieties
On November 14, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported concerning various chili powder varieties. The detection of sulfur dioxide and related compounds has raised concerns regarding the safety of these food ingredients. The source of this issue has been traced back to products originating from China.
Sulfur dioxide is commonly used as a preservative and antioxidant in food products; however, its presence in excessive amounts can pose health risks to consumers. Individuals with sensitivities or allergies may experience adverse reactions, including respiratory issues and gastrointestinal discomfort. Furthermore, sulfur dioxide can also lead to more severe health complications in vulnerable populations, such as asthmatics.
The State Administration for Market Regulation has classified this incident under the category of control, emphasizing the importance of monitoring food ingredients and compounds to ensure consumer safety. It is crucial for consumers to remain vigilant and check the origins of chili powder and similar products they purchase.
As a precaution, consumers are advised to avoid chili powder varieties that may be affected and to stay informed about any further updates regarding this incident. Food safety is paramount, and awareness is key to preventing potential health risks associated with contaminated food products.
