Why are the products being recalled:

An excessively high content of the fungus toxin aflatoxin B1 has been found in the products. A health risk cannot therefore be ruled out if you eat the products. The decisive thing is that you do not have too high an intake of aflatoxin over a long period of time. So it is not the individual meal that is decisive, but rather intake over a longer period of time. Therefore, you will not experience acute symptoms if you have eaten the products.

What should you do as a consumer:

The Danish Food Agency advises consumers to return the products to the store where they were purchased, or to discard them.

Why the food recalled:
After several customer complaints about sour milk, the dairy has established that there has been a break in the cold chain. This means that there has been an opportunity for bacteria to grow in the milk, and this has made the milk sour and therefore unsuitable as food.

What should you do as a consumer:
The Danish Food and Beverage Agency advises consumers to return the products to the store, where they were purchased, or to discard them.
