suppliers of peanut butter to comply with regulations and conduct urgent tests
to assess the safety of the products on their shelves and take immediate
corrective steps, if found to be unsafe,” said acting Commissioner, Thezi
Mabuza.
The Commissioner reiterated that the Consumer Protection
Act requires that goods that pose any risk of harm to the consumer be recalled,
and “it is the responsibility of the manufacturers, importers, and retailers to
ensure that goods comply with all applicable laws and standards of the
Republic".
“Aflatoxin may lead to health complications not limited to
nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. We, therefore, urge South African
consumers, who have the recalled products, to immediately stop consuming these
products and return the products to the point of purchase for a full refund,
with or without proof of purchase,” Mabuza said.
