Why the recall?
The sunflower seeds used in these products have been found to exceed the legal limit for Ochratoxin A. Whilst the health risk from consuming these products is considered minimal, we are recalling the affected batches as a precautionary measure and removing them from sale. In the best interest of our customers, we advise against consuming the affected batches as a potential health risk cannot be completely ruled out.
What is Ochratoxin A?
Ochratoxin A is a naturally occurring substance produced by moulds and can occur as a contaminant in various foods.
Despite our rigorous quality assurance processes, such cases can unfortunately occur. We are committed to investigating this incident fully and keeping our customers informed with complete transparency. Additionally, we have also reviewed and further strengthened our internal quality and safety processes to help prevent similar cases in the future.
