Every notification the EU published on food, feed and food contact materials from the United States, counted and put in plain words.

border rejections

1,269 notifications since 1 January 2020 named the United States as a country of origin, rank 10 of 163 origins. 265 in the 365 days to 8 November 2026, against 190 in the 365 days before, up 39%. 44% were border rejections, where the consignment was stopped at the EU's outer border, against 30% for all origins.

The finding reported most often was aflatoxins (483 notifications, 38%), then unauthorised novel food (153). The product category with most notifications was nuts, nut products and seeds (546). 54% carried a serious risk decision, against 52% for all origins.

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.
