A week after Appletiser announced a recall of six batches of its product due to elevated levels of a mould toxin, Pioneer Foods has announced a recall of several LiquiFruit brands for the same reason.

“The health and wellbeing of our consumers is of absolute importance to us, and hence when we identified the potential of a food safety issue, after in-house standard testing and engagement with one of our local suppliers, we immediately launched an internal investigation into all our 100% apple juice products,” said CEO Tertius Carstens on Thursday night.

The recall is based on the presence of patulin in a concentration of more than 50 parts per billion, which is the regulatory threshold. The recalled products include LiquiFruit Clear Apple, 250ml carton, the LiquiFruit Clear Apple 330ml can and the LiquiFruit Clear Apple one-litre carton. Those who have products on the recall list are urged to return them to the retailer from which they were purchased, to receive a full refund.
