On February 13, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported the detection of unauthorized substances containing dithiocarbamates and triadimenol in various Snow Pea Varieties sourced from Guatemala. This incident falls under the category of Control and is classified as a Contaminants hazard.
The presence of these substances raises significant concerns regarding food safety and compliance with regulatory standards. Dithiocarbamates are a group of chemicals commonly used in agriculture, while triadimenol is a fungicide. The identification of these unauthorized compounds in snow peas necessitates further investigation into the agricultural practices employed in Guatemala and the supply chain processes leading to their importation.
Consumers and retailers are advised to remain vigilant regarding the source of their food products, especially with the heightened scrutiny on imported agricultural products. The FDA continues to monitor the situation and may implement additional measures to ensure the safety of food items entering the U.S. market.
This incident underscores the importance of rigorous testing and oversight in the food supply chain to prevent the introduction of potentially harmful substances into consumer products.
