The European Commission validated RASFF notification 2026.8211 on 16 September 2026 concerning pyrrolizidine alkaloids in a tea mixture originating from Croatia. It is an information notification for follow-up, with a potentially serious risk decision.

The tea sample (25 kg, ambient storage) contained 1980 µg/kg of pyrrolizidine alkaloids, against a maximum permitted level of 200 µg/kg. The sample was taken on 22 July 2026 during official control on the market.

The measure taken is destruction of the product in Croatia. The product was distributed to Slovenia, which is responsible for follow-up. The notification was made by Croatia, and companies in Croatia and Slovenia are involved.

National consumer information is available from HAPIH in Croatia and the Slovenian consumer protection authority.
