All manufacturers of peanut butter products have been called on to test for aflatoxin and present their results to the National Consumer Commission (NCC) within 14 days.
This comes after the recall of various peanut butter products earlier in February over concerns about the levels of the toxin. These include Pick n Pay No Name Smooth Peanut Butter, Eden Smooth Peanut Butter and Eden Crunch Peanut Butter, and certain batches of Dis-Chem’s Lifestyle Food peanut butter. The latest recalls also affected Woolworths’ peanut butter ice cream and certain Eat Naked products.
The consumer commission’s notice this week affects all peanut butter and peanut butter-based products, and products with peanuts, including chocolates, sweets, cookies, ice cream, and peanut butter spreads.
In a move that has jarred consumers nationwide, Woolworths has announced a recall of its Peanut Butter Dairy Ice Cream, citing concerns over elevated levels of aflatoxin. This marks the latest in a series of peanut butter product recalls, with Woolworths previously asserting the safety of their range. The recall, which has rippled through households and sparked a broader conversation about food safety, is centered on the peanut butter ice cream variant; other peanut butter-infused products from Woolworths have been given a clean bill of health.
