People who have consumed the product mentioned above and who present these symptoms are invited to consult their doctor and report this consumption.

Finland – Ochratoxin in figs and suspected salmonella in goji berries

Epressi

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 .
