Midsona Norge AS withdraws Helios organic dark baking mix and Helios organic light baking mix, both gluten-free. Aflatoxins above the limit value have been found in the ingredient rice flour.

Updated 05/04/2024
Importer Midsona Norge AS has informed the Norwegian Food Safety Authority that the withdrawal applies to more “best before dates” than those stated in the online notification 27/03/2024

Dark baking mix, best before dates:
09.03.2024, 12.04.2024, 11.05.2024, 26.06.2024, 15.08.2024, 03.09.2024, 05.11.2024, 04.12.2024.

Light baking mix, best before dates:
07.02.2024, 12.04.2024, 11.06.2024, 02.07.2024, 06.11.2024, 04.12.2024.
The products are sold via health food stores, shop outlets and through Oda.

The mycotoxin aflatoxin has been found in the ingredient rice flour from Cambodia. Mold toxins (mycotoxins) are naturally occurring toxins from molds. Mycotoxins occur in feed and food and can cause long-term negative health effects in humans and animals.

The importer asks customers who have bought the products to throw them away.

Product images:

closed beige paper bag with yellow circle on white label

Picture behind.jpg

sealed beige paper bag with gray and white label

Manufacturer (distributor):

BTG Berlin Trade GmbH, Wilhelminenhofstraße 89a in 12459 Berlin

Salmonella 25 g in Moringa powder, which is ready to eat without further heating

Packaging Unit: 250 g
Durability: 08/24/2025
Lot identification:

OMORP/KG/DUC18/WG13

Additional Information:

Salmonella infection manifests itself within a few days of infection with diarrhea, abdominal pain and occasionally vomiting and a slight fever. The symptoms usually go away on their own after several days. In particular, infants, small children, seniors and people with weakened immune systems can develop more severe illnesses. People who have eaten this food and develop severe or persistent symptoms should seek medical attention and report a possible salmonella infection. Seeking preventive medical treatment without symptoms does not make sense.

Further information about the pathogen can be found here:
