The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) has reported the detection of sulfites that do not appear on the labeling of a batch of frozen white shrimp originating from Senegal, belonging to the brand 'Oceanpescados'.
The agency has explained that it became aware of the incident through the Rapid Alert System for the Exchange of Information (SCIRI), following an alert notification sent by the health authorities of Castilla y León. As a result, a specific notice has been issued for people with intolerance to sulfites.
The batch involved is 'OP30126G', with a best-before date in January 2028 and marketed in cardboard boxes of 1,200 grams. According to available data, the initial distribution was carried out in Castilla y León, although it is not ruled out that it has been redistributed to other autonomous communities.
"This information has been conveyed through SCIRI, with the aim of verifying the withdrawal of the affected products from marketing channels," AESAN said, which also indicates that "as a precautionary measure, it is recommended that people with intolerance to sulfites who may have the aforementioned product in their homes refrain from consuming it".
Regarding the marketing of the product, the agency under the Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs and the 2030 Agenda emphasizes that "the consumption of this product poses no risk to the rest of the population".
