Ceres 100% apple juice unwholesome for consumption – FDA warns public
The Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) Ghana in collaboration with Transmed Ghana Limited, Accra wishes to bring to the attention of the public an ongoing recall of certain batches of Ceres 100% Apple Juice.
This follows information received from the International Food Safety Network (INFOSAN) and the manufacturer of the product, Pioneer Foods Grocenes (Pty) Limited, South Africa confirming that extensive laboratory tests and consultations with their local supplier of the apple juice concentrate, revealed that it contained levels of mycotoxin-patulin higher than the regulatory threshold
In a statement released on Friday, October 15, 2021, FDA stated that “It is important to note that so far, most of the affected batches have been successfully retrieved and this includes all the 1 Litre pack sizes”
The FDA’s Market Surveillance team is therefore working earnestly with the importer to remove ail the affected products in trade and thus calling on persons in possession of the above products to return them to any of the depots of Transmed Ghana Limited, nationwide or to any FDA offices across the country.
