How were these numbers counted?
Every number on this page is a count of records in the public RASFF Window export, downloaded on 10 November 2026. A notification counts when its subject names cumin as the notified product, in any language RASFF uses; notifications where cumin only appear as an undeclared allergen or as an ingredient of another food are left out. The year follows the date the European Commission validated the notification. Hazards come from each notification’s hazard field; where RASFF publishes none, from the subject.[1]
RASFF Window’s own search for “cumin” in 2025 lists 66 notifications.[1] The counts differ because the search reads one word in the subject, while this page reads subjects in every language and applies the rule above.
