Africa-Press<\/a> – Mauritius<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>South African food and beverage maker Pioneer Foods has recalled its Ceres apple juice brands sold in seven Comesa markets, including Kenya and Uganda.<\/p>\n

The recalled brands were found to contain high levels of patulin, a fruit-based mould toxin that causes nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal disturbances.<\/p>\n

Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa) Competition Commission said Pioneer Food informed it that the affected juice brands were on sale in Kenya, Uganda, Seychelles, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mauritius, Zambia and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn view of the foregoing.<\/p>\n

the Commission would like to inform the general public to exercise caution and avoid the purchase or consumption of the recalled products,\u201d said the regional trading bloc\u2019s competition watchdog in a statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Further, consumers have been advised to \u201creturn the products where they were purchased for a refund or replacement. \u201d
\nThe Ceres apple juice recall comes barely a week after Pioneer Foods recalled its LiquiFruit apple juice brands sold in South Africa, Botswana and Namibia.<\/p>\n

The South African firm said its investigation had confirmed that \u201ca limited quantity of apple juice concentrate supplied to them contained elevated levels of patulin, a mould toxin mainly found in rotting apples.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe recall is based on the presence of patulin in a concentration of more than 50 parts per billion (ppb), which is the regulatory threshold,\u201d said CEO Tertius Carstens.<\/p>\n

Products
\nThe recalled products are Ceres apple juice 200ml and Ceres apple 275ml sparkling glass on sale in DRC, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Others are Ceres apple juice one-litre selling in Kenya, Uganda, DRC, Mauritius, and Zambia; and Ceres apple juice 200ml being sold in Seychelles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
