Biggest food recall in EU history set to continue

More pesticides banned, including ethylene oxide, which is approved for use by countries outside EU

The Food Safety Authority recalled certain batches of Häagen-Dazs ice cream due to the detection of 2-Chloroethanol.

The biggest food recall in EU history is set to continue, with the tightening up of ethylene oxide rules for food additives.

Since 2020, there have been about 3,000 product recalls and notifications due to ethylene oxide in food in the EU. There have been many more recalls outside the EU, including a recent high-profile international recall of Häagen-Dazs ice cream that was distributed to about 80 countries.
