EU finds carbon monoxide treated tuna

EU - The EU rapid alert system for week 22 showed that frozen smoked tuna loins (Thunnus albacares) from Indonesia via the Netherlands had been treated with carbon monoxide.

Also frozen smoked swordfish steaks ( Xiphias gladius) of the same origin and frozen smoked yellowfin tuna chunks had also been treated with carbon monoxide. In addition, too high content of sulphites were found in frozen lobster (Nephrops Norvegicus) from Spain and also in cooked prawns (Penaeus vannamei) from France. These were all notified by Italy.

Alert notifications are sent when the food or feed presenting the risk is on the market and when immediate action is required. Alerts are triggered by the Member State that detects the problem and has initiated the relevant measures, such as withdrawal/recall.
