More peanut butter brands recalled

SOUTH AFRICA – The National Consumer Commission has launched an investigation into the manufacturer responsible for the recalled peanut butter products. This comes after the commission issued a notice to recall various peanut butter brands manufactured by House of Natural Butters.

More labels have since been added to the list of products to be removed from the shelves due to unacceptable high levels of Aflatoxin. The peanut putter brands include Dischem’s Lifestyle, Wazoogles Superfoods, Pick n Pay’s No Name Brand, and Eden All Natural.

Acting National Consumer Commissioner Thezi Mabuza says the NCC will also conduct a nationwide assessment to establish whether other brands are affected.

“The commission urges the manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers of peanut butter to comply with regulations and conduct urgent tests to assess the safety of the products on their shelves and take immediate corrective steps if found to be unsafe.”
