The products which other countries referred to the RASFF last month are herbs and spices, meat, food preparations, tea and coffee. In 3 of the 7 cases the products were made in Bulgaria – they were designated as entailing a serious risk, as the case in point is of glass inside a protein bar, defective canned chicken and a chemical risk with herbs. In the other 4 cases the products were only in transit.
