Which food is recalled

Tropical organic figs

Net weight: 225 g

Best before date: 18.06.2024

Batch No. 8019714

Where is the product sold

The product is sold in: Coop stores throughout the country and Menu, Lyngby Hovedgade 80, 2800 Kongens Lyngby and Menu, Geels Plads 2, 2830 Virum.

Why is the product being recalled?

An excessively high content of the mushroom toxin ochratoxin A has been found in the product. A health risk cannot therefore be ruled out. What is crucial is that consumers do not have a high intake of Ochratoxin A over a long period of time. It is not the individual meal that is decisive, but rather intake over a longer period of time. Consumers will therefore not experience acute symptoms.

What should you do as a consumer?

The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration advises consumers to return the product to the store where it was purchased or to discard it.
