Pioneer Foods on Monday launched a recall of specific batches of Safari peanuts and raisins and cashew nuts in SA, Botswana and Namibia.

“Routine testing at the Safari production site in KwaZulu-Natal identified a batch of products which tested positive for low levels of salmonella typhimurium,” the company said.

“Based on safety protocols, production was immediately halted and the product was placed on hold and ring-fenced.”However, on November 17, the company said a limited number of cases of Safari 60g peanuts and raisins and Safari 100g raw cashews were released to the trade, “despite having been isolated and ring-fenced for destruction”.

“This limited number of affected products should never have been released into trade, and while we have not received any health-related complaints from consumers to date, we have decided to proceed to proactively recall these specific products,” said CEO Tertius Carstens.
