Consumer authorities warn of the presence of undeclared mustard in a batch of pasta sold in five regions

Spain's Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (Aesan), operating under the Ministry of Consumption, has issued a public alert regarding the sale of a specific food product. The warning concerns a batch of pasta containing undeclared mustard, an allergen, which was put on the market without proper labeling.

The affected pasta has been distributed and detected for sale across five specific Spanish regions: Andalusia, Catalonia, the Valencian Community, Murcia, and the Basque Country. The alert was officially issued from Madrid on August 17.

This regulatory action highlights potential health risks for consumers with mustard allergies or sensitivities, emphasizing the critical importance of accurate food labeling and compliance with consumer safety standards regarding undeclared ingredients.
