Frozen prawns: sulphites alert lifted for Oceanpescados

A warning over a batch of Oceanpescados frozen white prawns is lifted on Friday, 13 November, after further checks find no grounds to consider it a public health risk. The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition announced the decision in Madrid. The warning concerned sulphites missing from the label of batch OP30126G, which has a best-before date of 01/2028.

On Wednesday, the agency had warned people with sulphite intolerance about the prawns. Health authorities in Castile and León made the initial report. After further investigation, they found no reason to believe the product posed a risk to public health. The agency has withdrawn the alert and informed all contact points through the Coordinated Rapid Information Exchange System (SCIRI).
