French authorities have issued a product safety alert for raisins imported from Turkey due to the presence of undeclared sulfites, which can be an allergen and pose a potential serious health risk to sensitive individuals. The affected raisins were identified during market inspections in France but were not distributed beyond that country.
A RASFF notification means that a risk was identified and shared between national authorities. It does not necessarily mean the product was sold in every country — check the distribution list and the measures taken.
