Foodin Oy has announced that it has issued a recall for a total of four different products:
| Product | Best before | Batch ID | On sale from |
| Goji berry organic 150 g | 4/2025 | L051023 | 9/10/2023 |
| Goji berry organic 450 g | 5/2025 | L301123 | 4/12/2023 |
| Trailmix high five 70 g | 3/2025 | L181223 | 19/12/2023 |
| Mini fig organic 150 g | 11/2024 | L201023 | 1/11/2023 |
The recall of products containing goji berries is done because a German operator selling the same lot of goji has detected salmonella in its self-monitoring samples. That is why the goji berries of the same batch are recalled in Finland and also in other parts of Europe.
Elevated concentrations of ochratoxin have been measured in the recalled batch of mini figs. Ochratoxin is a mold toxin that can form in moist conditions, for example in dried fruits and grains.
The products have been sold at individual retailers and in K and S group stores. The recall applies only to the mentioned product lots.
More information: Foodin Oy, CEO Lasse Jalkanen, +358 44 530 0036, lasse@foodin.fi and in the announcement on the company’s website.
The matter is handled at the Food Agency by special expert Mika Varjonen, tel. 050-38 68 416, firstname.surname@ruokavirasto.fi .

The California Department of Public Health is warning consumers not to eat Shemshad’s Mulberry Molasses and Mulberry Jam jarred food products because they were produced outside of the health department’s Cannery Program oversight, making them susceptible to contamination with Clostridium botulinum.
Ingestion of botulism toxin from improperly processed jarred and canned foods may lead to serious illness and death.
There is concern that consumers may have the products in their homes because of their long shelf life.
Consumers that observe the product being offered for sale are encouraged to report the activity to the CDPH toll-free complaint line at 800-495-3232.
