On February 11, 2025, unlabelled sulphite was detected in a batch of Variety Of Raisins. This incident was reported through the Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF), highlighting potential risks associated with the consumption of these raisins.
The issue originated from the Islamic Republic of Iran, where the product was sourced. The detection of unlabelled sulphite in food products raises concerns regarding food safety and labeling compliance, as consumers may be unaware of the presence of this additive.
The incident falls under the category of control, emphasizing the need for regulatory oversight in food production and distribution. Authorities are typically tasked with investigating such incidents to ensure that food products meet safety standards and are accurately labeled.
This event serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance in food safety practices and the role of alert systems like RASFF in monitoring and addressing potential hazards in the food supply chain.
