UK STOPS SALE OF NIGERIAN EWA-IBEJI IMPORTED BEANS!

Jumbo UK Ltd has recalled all batches of Nigeria Taste Brown Beans due to the risk of contamination with aluminium phosphide. The dried beans were transported with envelopes of aluminium phosphide which is used as a fumigant. So far no beans have been found to be directly contaminated with aluminium phosphide but the company has recalled the product as a precaution.





Aluminium phosphide can be highly toxic if it is consumed.

The FSA has issued a Produce Recall Information Notice.

About product recalls and withdrawals

If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food. In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued. This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.
