Alpro Organic Coconut Drink - recalled due to unauthorized pesticide

Ireland

The FSAI announced the recall of the Organic Coconut drink by Alpro due to the presence of the unauthorized pesticide ethylene oxide. Ethylene oxide is a pesticide that is not permitted for use in foods sold in the EU but is approved for use by other countries outside the EU.

The recalled product is:
- Alpro Organic Coconut; pack size: 1L, best before dates: 29/11/2021, 03/01/2022 and 17/01/2022

Although the consumption of the contaminated product does not pose an acute risk to health, there is an increased risk if there is continued consumption of contaminated food over a long period of time. Therefore, exposure to this substance needs to be minimized.

In case you are experiencing food poisoning symptoms, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance.
