Pick n Pay has recalled No Name Smooth Peanut Butter, Eden Smooth Peanut Butter and Eden Crunch Peanut Butter over possible health risks, with all stocks of the products already having been removed from stores countrywide.
It said that after in-house standard testing, the products were found to have higher than regulated levels of aflatoxin, a “naturally occurring mycotoxin, but the levels detected were higher than the regulatory threshold”, reports News24.
Customers who have bought the products have been urged to return them to Pick n Pay for a full refund if any product has an expiry date between now and July 2025.
The group said it has engaged the National Consumer Commission and the National Department of Health, Directorate Food Control.
