24 notifications on prepared dishes and snacks from Poland since 1 January 2020. That is 1% of all EU notifications on products from Poland and 3% of all notifications on prepared dishes and snacks from any origin; Poland ranks 9 of 68 origins for this category. 5 in the 365 days to 8 November 2026, against 5 in the 365 days before, no change.

Most reported: foreign bodies (5), Listeria monocytogenes (3) and labelling faults (2). 4% were border rejections (9% for prepared dishes and snacks from all origins) and 50% had a serious risk decision. The products named most often were snacks (6), dumplings and rolls (4) and pizza (1).

Counts start on 1 January 2020 and run to 8 November 2026, the day the list was last read. A notification that names two countries of origin counts for each. Findings come from our word list matched against the EU subject line, which is never shown; 96% of all notifications match it, the rest count as other finding. Each reference links to the official record on RASFF Window. How this works.
