Withdrawal of herbal supplements

A WIDE range of herbal supplements on sale in Ireland are to be withdrawn from the market after it was discovered they had been irradiated, contrary to EU legislation.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland has advised stockists to remove 10 herbal supplement products which had been irradiated and wrongly labelled.

It follows tests conducted by the FSAI on 24 different products at the request of the European Commission to determine the level of irradiated herbal supplements being sold within the EU.
