Finland – Mold toxins in corn kernels

Posted on April 6, 2023 by | Leave a comment

Epressi

Midsona Finland Oy has announced that it has withdrawn from sale one lot of the product Urtekram Maize grain organic 400 g. The batch to be withdrawn can best be identified by the date before 25.07.2024. The batch in question has been found to contain aflatoxin, which is a mold toxin, exceeding the maximum amount defined in the legislation. In long-term use, it is harmful to health.

The product batch has been delivered this spring for sale to S and K group stores.

More information for consumers can be found on Midsona Finland Oy’s website. The company advises consumers for questions or to obtain possible product refunds to contact the consumer service by email: sättätäpalvelu@midsona.fi : “The email must include a picture of the product and the best before date. We will refund the price of the product, so please also include your contact information in the message.”

The matter is handled at the Food Agency by Chief Inspector Mika Varjonen, firstname.surname@ruokavirasto.fi .

DVFA

Midsona Danmark A/S is recalling Urtekram Popcorn, as an excessively high content of the fungal toxin aflatoxin B1 has been found in the product. The product should be returned to the store where it was purchased or discarded.

Recalled foods , Published: April 5, 2023

​​​​Which food:

​Urtekram Popcorn ( see a picture of the product here )
Net content: 400g
EAN code: 5765228112533
​​Best before date: 25.07.2024

Sold in: Kvickly, SuperBrugsen, Løvbjerg and Helsam all over the country.

​Why is the food recalled:

​​​​​​An excessively high content of the fungal toxin aflatoxin B1 has been found in the product. A health risk cannot therefore be ruled out if you eat the product. It is important not to 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 product.

​The Norwegian Food Agency advises consumers to return the product to the store where it was purchased, or to discard it.
