The EU Commission (EC) releases its annual report on Safety Gate, the rapid alert system for dangerous non-food products. It reveals cosmetics as the most frequently notified product category posing health risks. Highlighting its responsive actions, the government body reaffirms the importance of stringent safety measures.
Across the 30 participating countries, the Safety Gate network recorded 3,412 alerts in 2023, which prompted 4,287 follow-up actions by national authorities. According to the EC, these were the most alerts recorded since the system was first implemented in 2003.
In one significant case, a body cream containing prohibited chemicals was found by Lithuanian authorities, who reported the incident on Safety Gate. Slovenia was able to recall the product from end users, while Polish authorities were able to remove it from their national market.
