Bern, 03.07.2024 – Alnatura has informed the enforcement authorities of the canton of Zurich and the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO) that a high aflatoxin content has been detected in pumpkin and carrot risotto-flavored small pots (Kürbis-Risotto mit Karotten). Since a health risk cannot be ruled out, the FSVO recommends not consuming the affected product. Alnatura has immediately withdrawn the affected product from sale and ordered a recall.
How can this product be dangerous?
A high content of aflatoxins was measured in the product. Aflatoxins are metabolites produced by certain species of moulds. Their absorption via food should be limited as much as possible, as they may have a carcinogenic and mutagenic effect.

Best before date: 20.12.2025
Points of sale: Alnatura organic supermarkets
