EU food safety notification · Border rejection · stopped at the border
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. A border rejection means a consignment was tested and rejected at the external border of the EU or EEA because a health risk was found. It was stopped before reaching the market.

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.

What the labels mean
A border rejection means a consignment was tested and rejected at the external border of the EU or EEA because a health risk was found. It was stopped before reaching the market.
Potential risk: no serious risk is suspected, but a risk can't be ruled out and there's not enough information to call it not serious.
