Is this a consumer recall?
No. RASFF is how food safety authorities in Europe exchange information about risks in food and feed. Information shared through RASFF can lead to products being recalled, but consumer recall notices with brand names are published nationally. An alert notification means a food with a serious health risk is on the market and rapid action is required. The notifying country has taken measures, and other countries check whether the product is on their market too.
What did this RASFF notification report?
Exceeding the maximum level for OTA content in type 720 rye flour from Poland. Risk decision: serious. Notification type: alert notification.
What should I do?
RASFF Window summaries do not name brands, batches or retailers, so a product in your kitchen cannot be matched to this notification alone. Check your national food safety authority's recall page or the retailer for brand-level consumer recalls, and follow their instructions if a notice names a product you have.
Can I check a specific product against this notification?
RASFF Window does not publish brand names, business operators, batch or lot numbers. Do not treat a similar product as affected or unaffected based on this summary; national recall notices carry the brand-level details.
