Ochratoxin A is a mycotoxin produced by several microscopic fungi
(genera Penicillium and Aspergillus) and is naturally present in many
plant products around the world, such as cereals, coffee beans, cocoa and
dried fruits.
Only a large quantity of contaminated products can lead to health
problems.
All products have been withdrawn from sale. Some of these products were however marketed on the Belgian market before the withdrawal measure. It is therefore recommended that people who hold the products described above do not consume them and destroy them or return them to the point of sale where they will be reimbursed.
For any further information, you can contact the Carrefour Belgium consumer service by dialing the free number 0800.9.10.11 , from 8:30 am to 8:00 pm, Monday to Saturday.
