Food Safety Alert: Contamination Detected in Celery Products
Date: November 21, 2025
A recent food safety incident has been reported involving celery and its variations, which have been found to contain traces of a contaminant known as tebuconazole. This issue has been identified through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF), highlighting the importance of monitoring food products for safety.
Tebuconazole is a fungicide commonly used in agricultural practices to protect crops from fungal diseases. While it plays a role in enhancing crop yield, its presence in food products raises significant health concerns for consumers. The detection of this contaminant in celery indicates a potential risk, particularly for individuals who consume these products regularly.
The contamination has been traced back to Belgium, where the celery was likely grown or processed. Authorities are currently investigating the extent of the contamination and are taking necessary measures to ensure that affected products are removed from the market to protect public health.
Consumers are advised to stay informed about this incident and to check for any recalls or advisories related to celery and its variations. It is crucial to wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly before consumption to minimize the risk of exposure to contaminants.
Food safety is a shared responsibility, and vigilance is essential in ensuring that the food we consume is safe and free from harmful substances.
