Food Safety Alert: Undeclared Sulphur Dioxide and Sulphites in Dried Mushrooms
Date: November 20, 2025
In a recent food safety incident, undeclared sulphur dioxide and sulphites have been detected in dried mushrooms sourced from China. This finding raises significant concerns regarding labeling practices and potential health risks associated with the consumption of these products.
Sulphur dioxide and sulphites are commonly used as preservatives in various food products, including dried fruits and vegetables, to prevent spoilage and maintain color. However, for individuals with sensitivities or allergies to these substances, consuming products containing undeclared sulphites can lead to adverse reactions. Symptoms may include respiratory issues, skin reactions, and gastrointestinal disturbances.
The detection of these undeclared substances falls under the category of labeling hazards, emphasizing the importance of accurate ingredient disclosure on food packaging. Consumers are advised to remain vigilant and check for proper labeling when purchasing dried mushrooms or similar products.
Food safety authorities are currently investigating the source of this issue and are taking necessary actions to ensure that affected products are removed from the market. It is crucial for consumers to be aware of potential allergens and to report any adverse reactions to health authorities.
