Food Safety Alert: Sulphite-Related Allergen Detected in Peking Dates
On August 1, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving the detection of sulphite-related allergens in Peking dates originating from China. This incident has been categorized under control measures due to the potential health risks associated with allergen exposure.
Sulphites are commonly used as preservatives in various food products, but they can trigger allergic reactions or intolerances in sensitive individuals. Symptoms may include headaches, hives, and respiratory issues, which can be severe in some cases. It is crucial for consumers, especially those with known sensitivities to sulphites, to be aware of this issue.
The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition has issued a warning to ensure that consumers are informed about the potential risks associated with these Peking dates. It is recommended that individuals check product labels carefully and avoid consumption if they are allergic to sulphites.
Food safety authorities are working diligently to address this issue, including recalling affected products from the market and ensuring that proper labeling practices are followed to prevent future occurrences. Consumers are encouraged to stay informed and report any adverse reactions to health authorities.
For those who enjoy dates and have no known allergies, it is advisable to remain vigilant and ensure that any products consumed are free from allergens. Always consult with a healthcare provider if there are concerns regarding food allergies or intolerances.
