Abstract: We prove that the prime radical $ rad\,\mathcal {M}$ of the free Malcev algebra $ \mathcal {M}$ of rank more than two over a field of characteristic $ \neq 2$ coincides with the set of all universally Engelian elements of $ \mathcal {M}$. Moreover, let $ T(\mathbb{M})$ be the ideal of $ \mathcal {M}$ consisting of all stable identities of the split simple 7-dimensional Malcev algebra $ \mathbb{M}$ over $ F$. It is proved that $ rad\,\mathcal {M}=J(\mathcal {M})\cap T(\mathbb{M})$, where $ J(\mathcal {M})$ is the Jacobian ideal of $ \mathcal {M}$. Similar results were proved by I. Shestakov and E. Zelmanov for free alternative and free Jordan algebras.
