Woolworths recalls Peanut Butter Dairy Ice Cream in response to aflatoxin concerns. Manufacturers urged to test products for safety.

In a peanut butter panic, Woolworths has jumped on the recall bandwagon by urgently pulling its 2 litre Peanut Butter Dairy Ice Cream off the shelves. The move comes as manufacturers are scrambling to test their products for high levels of aflatoxin, a dangerous substance threatening consumer health. The National Consumer Commission (NCC) has issued a stern warning to all peanut butter suppliers, demanding immediate testing to prevent potential risks to the public.

The recall saga continues as more peanut butter products face scrutiny, with the NCC pushing for thorough testing within 14 days. Retailers are on high alert, recalling various peanut butter items amid concerns of aflatoxin contamination. The NCC emphasizes the importance of compliance with safety regulations, urging manufacturers to present test results promptly.

In a surprising turn of events, the NCC's call for testing extends beyond peanut butter to all products containing peanuts. This thorough investigation aims to ensure the safety of all peanut-related items in the market, highlighting the gravity of aflatoxin contamination. Consumers are advised to remain vigilant and follow updates closely to protect their health.

The peanut butter frenzy intensifies as the NCC ramps up efforts to safeguard consumers from aflatoxin exposure. Manufacturers face strict regulations and must adhere to testing protocols to maintain product safety standards. The entire industry is under scrutiny, emphasizing the critical need for vigilance and transparency in food production processes.
