Food safety recall round-up 1-6 July 2017
Insufficient sterilisation prompts recall
UK: Alpro is recalling its Alpro Growing Up Drink (1-3+ yrs 1 litre UHT pack) because of insufficient sterilisation.
Product has batch code starting with AB2310 XX:XX and date 5 March 2018 and is sold in Sainsbury’s stores.
Sterility has been compromised so microbiological safety cannot be guaranteed and this poses a risk to health if the product is consumed. Affected batches may have developed an unpleasant texture, taste and smell but no consumer complaints have been received.
Alpro recalled four pallets of the drink following quality control testing by the company. The firm said testing of production samples has identified a curdling issue with the drink. Affected product will appear curdled on opening and will taste sour and should not be consumed.
