Coalas Naturprodukter is recalling the plant powder Dragon Superfoods – Organic In Shape Mix, which is used as a dietary supplement, as there is a risk that the product contains the bacterium Bacillus cereus and mould.

If you have the product, you should discard it or return it to the store where it was purchased.

Which food is recalled
Dragon Superfoods – Organic In Shape Mix, 200g

Origin: Bulgaria
Lot number: 23275

EAN barcode: 3800233685510
Best-before date: 02.04.2024

Where is the product sold
The product is sold through Salling grocery stores and on Matas.dk, as well as via a number of other web shops for food supplements under the company Firtal, e.g. Helsebixen.dk, made4men.dk or well.dk

Why is the product being recalled?
There is a risk that the product contains too high a content of the bacterium Bacillus cereus. The bacterium is found naturally in soil and on plants, but can cause illness such as vomiting and diarrhea in humans.

The risk of an increased content of mold does not constitute a health risk in the same way, but alone makes the product unsuitable for human consumption.

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.

If you experience symptoms in connection with consuming the product, you should contact your own doctor.
