  • Coca-Cola South Africa instituted a voluntary recall of Appletiser products on 23 September.
  • But the manufacturer refused to detail the exact reasons for the recall or how many individual products were affected.
  • This information came, instead, from an Australian food authority which raised the alarm on elevated levels of mycotoxin (patulin).
  • South Africa’s National Consumer Commission confirmed the cause of the recall on Thursday, noting that 37,362 cases of Appletiser were affected.
