Food Safety Alert: Sulphite-Related Allergen Detected in Food Contact Material
On August 11, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving a nylon slotted spatula. This incident has been categorized under allergens, specifically related to the presence of sulphites, which can pose serious health risks to individuals with sulphite intolerance or allergies.
The spatula in question is a common kitchen utensil used for cooking and serving food. It is essential for food contact materials, such as utensils, to be free from allergens to ensure the safety of consumers. The origin of this issue has been traced back to China, where the spatula was produced.
Individuals who are sensitive to sulphites may experience a range of allergic reactions, which can include respiratory issues, skin reactions, and gastrointestinal distress. It is crucial for consumers, especially those with known sulphite allergies, to be aware of this incident and to take necessary precautions when using food contact materials that may be affected.
This alert has been issued through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF), which monitors and communicates food safety risks across Europe. Consumers are advised to check their kitchen utensils and discontinue use of any nylon slotted spatulas that may be linked to this allergen issue.
For those who have purchased such utensils, it is recommended to consult with health professionals if any adverse reactions occur after use. Food safety is paramount, and awareness of potential allergens in food contact materials is vital for consumer protection.
