The European Commission validated RASFF notification 2026.7880 on 7 September 2026, a border rejection notification concerning red peppers from Albania, notified by Croatia.

A sample taken on 26 June 2026 showed acetamiprid at 0.23 mg/kg, which led to the consignment being stopped at border control. The risk is considered serious.
