RASFF - Warnmeldungen Lebensmittel außer Obst & Gemüse (siehe separater Beitrag)

Alarm

In diesem Beitrag wiederholen wir Warnmeldungen aus dem RASFF-System der Europäischen Kommission des letzten Monats, die wir für bemerkenswert halten.

 

Wir verzichten darauf, die Meldungen zu allen Mykotoxin- und Salmonellen-Grenzwertüberschreitungen zu wiederholen, sondern zeigen nur eine Auswahl, um Sie auf besondere Risiken hinzuweisen. Wir möchten Sie darauf aufmerksam machen, dass auch fehlende Allergeninformationen häufig als schwerwiegend eingestuft wurden.

 

Bitte haben Sie Verständnis, dass wir diese Tabelle auf Englisch präsentieren.

 

Sie können die RASFF-Seite mit Hilfe verschiedener Filteroptionen bequem selbst analysieren und die Meldungen auf diejenigen beschränken, die für Ihr Unternehmen von direktem Interesse sind. Link: https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/rasff-window/screen/search
