What the alert covers and why FDA issued it

FDA's wording, with FDA's change markers removed.

Product scope: All morel and false morel mushrooms (fresh, canned and dried)
Last published: March 5, 2026

In the past, shipments of canned and dried morel mushrooms have been detained due to the presence of Gyromitra esculenta. This mushroom species is known to produce monomethylhydrazine (MMH), a substance which causes severe gastrointestinal disturbance and, in some cases, death.
In addition to Gyromitra esculenta, CFSAN has identified another species, Verpa bohemica, which can also cause toxic effects in some individuals.
