The FSAI announced the recall of certain Batches of Carte D'or Strawberry Ice Cream due to the presence of the unauthorized pesticide ethylene oxide in the batch of food additive locust bean gum (E410) used in their production. 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:
- Carte D’or Strawberry Ice Cream; pack size: 1000ml, batch code: L1123CL020, L1146AL020, L1146BL020 and L1147BL020, best before: 05/2023.
Locust bean gum (E410) is an approved food additive in the EU and is used as a thickener and stabilizer in a broad range of food products. Although the consumption of the contaminated products does not pose an acute risk to health, there is an increased risk if there is continued consumption of ethylene oxide in contaminated food over a long period of time. Therefore, exposure to ethylene oxide needs to be minimized.
