Hungary’s Nébih (National Food Chain Safety Office) has issued a recall for dried apricots due to excessively high levels of sulfur dioxide. The recall stems from concerns over consumer health risks associated with the elevated levels of the preservative. While the specific brand and origin of the apricots were not detailed in the brief announcement, the Nébih is advising consumers not to consume the affected product. Sulfur dioxide is commonly used to preserve dried fruit, but exceeding permitted limits can pose potential health problems for sensitive individuals. The authority is urging anyone who has purchased the recalled dried apricots to return them to the point of sale or to contact Nébih directly for guidance. This action underscores the ongoing vigilance of Hungary’s food safety regulators in protecting public health.
