The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) has reported this Friday that it is lifting the alert for the presence of sulfites not indicated on the labeling in a batch of frozen white shrimp from the Oceanpescados brand, after concluding an investigation that has determined that there are no grounds to continue keeping it in place.
The agency, which depends on the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, had warned last Wednesday people with intolerance to sulfites about its possible presence in the product with batch number OP30126G and best before date 01/2028, despite not being reflected on the label. The initial notification came from the health authorities of Castilla y León.
Subsequently, new checks have allowed these health services to conclude that there are no grounds to support that the product poses a risk to public health. Accordingly, it has been decided to cancel the alert and to disseminate this decision through the Coordinated System for Rapid Information Exchange (SCIRI), so that it is on record at all the contact points involved.
