On March 20, 2025, it was reported that tin heavy metal has been detected in canned peach strips originating from China. This incident falls under the category of a product recall due to the presence of contaminants.
The detection of tin in food products poses potential health risks, prompting regulatory authorities to act swiftly in ensuring consumer safety. The incident has been documented in the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF), a system designed to facilitate the rapid exchange of information on food and feed safety issues within the European Union and beyond.

The recall underscores the importance of monitoring food safety and quality, as well as the need for effective regulatory measures to prevent contaminated products from reaching the market.
Further developments regarding the recall and specific details about affected batches are expected to be communicated by authorities as they continue to investigate the issue.
