AFSCA

Recall of Carrefour
Product: Basmati rice sachet (1kg).
Problem: too high Ochratoxin A content in Basmati Rice.

Brussels, 04-03-2021 – Following a control and in order to guarantee the safety of the consumer, the SOUFFLET company asks to withdraw from the trade the “basmati rice” of the Carrefour brand (1kg) sold in the GROCERY department of certain Carrefour stores in Belgium. This product is also being recalled from consumers.

BASMATI RICE of the Carrefour brand

Conditioned by EMB 59606B
Product: Basmati rice sachet (1kg)
EAN: 3560070837984

Ochratoxin A is a mycotoxin produced by several microscopic fungi

plant products around the world, such as cereals, coffee beans, cocoa and

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All products have been withdrawn from sale.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.
