Food Safety Alert: Undeclared Allergen in Dietary Supplement
On October 29, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving undeclared allergens in a dietary supplement. Specifically, Nattokinase capsules, originating from Germany, were found to contain an undeclared soy allergen. This poses a serious risk to individuals with soy allergies, as consumption of such products can lead to severe allergic reactions.
The detection of the undeclared allergen was communicated through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF), highlighting the importance of stringent control measures in the food and dietary supplement industry. Allergens must be clearly labeled on product packaging to ensure consumer safety and prevent potential health risks.
Consumers who are allergic to soy or have sensitivities are advised to check their dietary supplement labels carefully and avoid products that do not explicitly state their ingredients. It is crucial for manufacturers to adhere to food safety regulations and ensure that all allergens are declared to protect public health.
This incident underscores the need for ongoing vigilance in food safety practices, particularly in the production and labeling of dietary supplements. Consumers should remain informed and cautious when selecting products, especially those that may contain allergens.
