Korea – Food Poisoning Bacteria Detected in Orion’s Custard Snack; FDA Halts Sales, Orders Recall

Business Korea

The Food and Drug Administration announced on Jan. 3 that it is currently suspending sales and recalling the Orion food company’s popular “Custard” snack after detecting food poisoning bacteria in the product. Custard is considered to be one of Orion’s signature products alongside Choco Pies.

According to the FDA, Staphylococcus aureus, the detected bacterium, secretes toxins in food, causing symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea. A “non-compliant” judgment is issued if even one of five samples tests positive for this bacterium during inspections.

The manufacturing date of the affected product is Dec. 22, 2023, with an expiration date of June 21, 2024. The product is a 276 g package containing 12 snacks weighing 23 g each. It was found that a total of 1,318.2 kg of this product had been shipped from Orion’s 4th Cheongju factory.

An Orion representative stated, “We immediately took recall measures upon receiving the results of our self-administered quality inspection. Most of the products targeted for recall have already been collected, and we plan to complete the recall by tomorrow.”

Denmark – Ochratoxin A in organic figs

Foedevarestyrelsen

The Whole Company A/S is recalling Trope organic figs, 225 g, as an excessively high content of Ochratoxin A has been found in the product. If you have the product, you should discard it or return it to the store where it was purchased.

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.
