Food safety recall round-up 28 April - 4 May 2017
Vitamin C content found not to match label claim
Czech Republic: Authorities have ordered an importer to withdraw a batch of beverages which had an incorrect claim of vitamin C content.
'Nutri Elements Zelený ječmen – 100% RAW sušená šťáva z mladého ječmene' 180g from the US with expiry date 01/2018 supplied by Elkotex Ing of Slovakia and imported by Energy Arts of Czech Republic was involved.
The label informed consumers that the vitamin C content was 595 mg/100g. Laboratory analysis did not detect the presence of vitamin C - meaning its presence was below the detection limit of 5 mg/100g.
