Incident Report: Allergen Detection in Sugar Products
On October 31, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of sulphite-related allergens or intolerances in various types of granulated sugar and crystal sugar. This issue was identified by the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition, highlighting a critical concern for consumers who may have sensitivities to sulphites.
The affected products, originating from Indonesia, include granulated sugar and crystal sugar varieties. These sugars are commonly used in a wide range of food products, making it essential for consumers and food manufacturers to be aware of this allergen risk.
Sulphites are commonly used as preservatives in various food items, but they can trigger allergic reactions or intolerances in sensitive individuals. Symptoms may include respiratory issues, skin reactions, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Therefore, it is crucial for those with known sulphite allergies to avoid these sugar products until further information is provided regarding their safety.
Food safety authorities recommend that consumers check product labels carefully and stay informed about any updates related to this incident. Additionally, food manufacturers are urged to review their sourcing and production processes to ensure that allergen controls are effectively implemented.
