Food safety recall round-up 19-25 August 2016
Yeast presence in orange juice
Belgium: Everyday jus d’orange 100% pur jus pressé (2L) (orange juice) has been recalled due to the potential for the plastic bottle to burst.
Following customer feedback, Saccharomyces was detected in the juice sold at Colruyt, Colruyt Luxemburg, OKay and Solucious stores. All products concerned have been taken off the shelves in all stores.
Saccharomyces is a type of yeast which can make the bottle crack or open (especially during transport) but does not represent a risk to health. Orange juice can become acidic, but still suitable for consumption.
