FSANZ patulin survey finds low risk to public
An Australian survey of patulin in apple juice and other apple products has found the concentration in most items was low.
In 2020, several apple juice products were recalled because of high patulin levels. In response, Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) and other government, state, and territory health authorities ran a survey to determine if the amount of patulin in foods posed a risk to consumers.
Patulin is a natural toxin produced by certain molds, sometimes found in fruits, vegetables, and cereals. The likelihood of contamination in apples is influenced by the condition of the fruit at harvest and handling and storage conditions. There are no maximum limits for patulin in Australia. However, levels should be kept as low as reasonably achievable.
Juice made from fallen fruit is at higher risk of contamination than those made from tree apples. Any patulin already present in apples is not destroyed by pasteurization.
Finland – Too much Aflatoxin in the raw material of fig jam
Riitan Herkku Oy has announced that the raw material (fig) of the fig jam it produces may contain too much aflatoxin. The concentration in the raw material may be so high that the products made from it are not suitable for food. For this reason, as a precaution, Riitan Herkku Oy instructs consumers not to use the product.
The error concerns the following batches of the product Riitan Herkku Fig jam, 45 g :
- best before 1 October 2024
- best before 1 November 2024
- best before 3 November 2024
Fig jam has been included in Riitan Herku’s Cheese gift boxes and jam assortments.
More information on the matter in Riitan Herkku Oy’s bulletin.
