Incident Report: Unauthorized Use of Plant-Based Fibers in Food Supplement
On November 8, 2025, a food safety incident was reported concerning the unauthorized use of various plant-based fibers, including wheat straw and vegetable fibers, as well as flax, in a food supplement. This incident was identified through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF) and is categorized under control issues related to food ingredients and compounds.
The food supplement in question is intended for consumer use and is produced in the United States of America. The detection of these unauthorized fibers raises significant concerns regarding food safety and regulatory compliance. The presence of such ingredients could pose potential health risks to consumers, particularly for those with allergies or sensitivities to specific plant materials.
Food supplements are designed to provide nutritional benefits, and the integrity of their ingredient lists is crucial for consumer safety. The use of unauthorized or unverified ingredients not only undermines consumer trust but also violates food safety regulations that ensure products are safe for consumption.
Authorities are expected to take appropriate measures to address this issue, including potential recalls and further investigations into the production processes of the affected food supplement. Consumers are advised to remain vigilant and check for any updates regarding this incident to ensure their safety.
