Food Safety Alert: Sulphite-Related Allergen Detected in Tiger Shrimp Varieties
Date: November 21, 2025
A recent food safety incident has been reported concerning the detection of sulphite-related allergens in various tiger shrimp varieties. This alert was issued through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal, highlighting a significant concern for consumers with sulphite allergies or intolerances.
The source of the issue has been traced back to the Netherlands, where these shrimp varieties are processed. Sulphites are commonly used as preservatives in various food products, but they can pose serious health risks for individuals who are sensitive or allergic to them. Symptoms of sulphite intolerance can range from mild to severe and may include respiratory issues, skin reactions, and gastrointestinal discomfort.
Consumers are advised to exercise caution and check for any allergen warnings on packaging when purchasing shrimp or seafood products. It is essential for individuals with known sulphite allergies to avoid products that may contain these preservatives to prevent adverse reactions.
This incident underscores the importance of strict control measures in food processing and the need for clear labeling to ensure consumer safety. Food safety authorities are actively monitoring the situation to mitigate risks associated with allergen exposure in food products.
For further updates and information, consumers should stay informed through official food safety channels and advisories.
