March - Ikea cake recalled due to faecal contamination
March: Ikea stopped the sale of two affected batches of chocolate and butterscotch almond cake over fecal contamination fears.
Ikea said the product was produced for its in-store restaurants from one supplier in Sweden.
It was withdrawn in 23 countries after Chinese authorities found high levels of coliform bacteria normally found in human waste and destroyed the products last year, but Ikea only found out in March.
An Ikea spokeswoman told FQN that the levels of the tested coliform bacteria were not high.
"The form of coliform bacteria that were detected in the batch of Almond cake is not creating a health risk, however the levels detected were above our set levels for this kind of coliform bacteria.
"For quality reasons we decided to stop sales of the two affected batches."
