UK – Product Recall Aflatoxins in Egusi

Posted on January 18, 2013 by | Leave a comment

RASFF – Aflatoxins in Egusi in the UK sourced in Ghana

Egusi seeds are the fat- and protein-rich seeds of certain cucurbitaceous (squash, melon, gourd) plants. Authorities disagree whether the word is used more properly for the seeds of the colocynth, those of a particular large-seeded variety of the watermelon, or generically for those of any cucurbitaceous plant. The characteristics and uses of all these seeds are broadly similar.

Posted on December 28, 2012 by | Leave a comment

FSAAflatoxin

Budgens, Londis  and SuperValu have recalled some of their SuperValu Salted Peanuts, because one batch of the product has been found to contain aflatoxins at levels higher than the regulatory limits. The levels of aflatoxins found are not considered a safety risk. However, if you have bought any of the product do not eat it. The Agency has issued a Product Recall Information Notice.
