On January 28, 2025, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Philippines reported a significant incident involving unregistered food and food supplements detected in cashew nuts, including variations of the product. This incident falls under the category of control and is classified as a hazard relating to adulteration.
The FDA’s findings indicate that certain batches of cashew nuts may contain undeclared food supplements that have not received the necessary registration and approval for sale in the Philippines. The agency emphasizes the importance of adhering to food safety regulations to ensure consumer protection and maintain public health standards.
The detection of these unregistered substances raises concerns regarding the integrity of food products and the potential risks associated with their consumption. As a regulatory body, the FDA is responsible for monitoring food safety and ensuring that all food products in the market meet the required standards for quality and safety.
The FDA continues to investigate the source of the adulteration and advises consumers to exercise caution when purchasing cashew nuts and similar products. The agency encourages the public to report any suspicious food items to the appropriate authorities to aid in maintaining food safety across the nation.
