On February 3, 2025, the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF) reported a significant issue concerning the Dried Apricot Collection originating from Lebanon. The incident is categorized under control and has been identified as an adulteration hazard.
The detection of undeclared sulphur dioxide and sulphites in the product raises concerns regarding food safety and consumer health. Sulphur dioxide and sulphites are commonly used as preservatives in dried fruits, but they must be clearly declared on product labels to ensure that consumers, particularly those with sensitivities or allergies, are adequately informed.
The presence of these undeclared substances in the Dried Apricot Collection may lead to regulatory actions and recalls to protect consumers. It is essential for suppliers and manufacturers to adhere to food safety regulations and accurately disclose all ingredients to prevent incidents of this nature.
This incident highlights the ongoing importance of vigilance in food safety practices and the role of monitoring systems like RASFF in identifying and addressing potential risks in the food supply chain.
