On February 19, 2025, the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) reported a significant food safety incident involving various types of shrimp. The incident was categorized under control and identified a sulphite-related allergen or intolerance detected in the affected shrimp products.
The source of this issue has been traced back to Ecuador, which is known for its shrimp production. Sulphites are used in food preservation but can pose a risk to individuals with sensitivities or allergies to this substance. The presence of such allergens in food products necessitates immediate attention to ensure consumer safety.
This incident underscores the importance of monitoring food imports and maintaining stringent safety standards throughout the supply chain. The detection of sulphite-related allergens in shrimp highlights the need for thorough testing and labeling practices to protect consumers, particularly those with known allergies.
As this situation develops, updates from relevant food safety authorities and the RASFF will provide further information on the scope of the affected products and any necessary actions to mitigate the risk associated with the consumption of these shrimp products.
