The FSAI announced the recall of a batch of King Oscar Sardines in Tomato Sauce due to the presence of the unauthorized pesticide ethylene oxide in a batch of the food additive locust bean gum (E410) used in its production. Locust bean gum (E410) is an approved food additive in the EU. It is obtained from the seeds of the carob tree and is used as a thickener and stabilizer in a broad range of food products.The recalled product is:
- King Oscar Sardines in Tomato Sauce; pack size: 106g, Batch code: 0000288938; best before 17/4/2024, Country Of Origin: Poland.
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 consumption of foods containing ethylene oxide does not pose an acute risk to health, but there is an increased health risk if foods contaminated with ethylene oxide are consumed over a long period of time. Therefore, exposure to ethylene oxide needs to be minimized and the contaminated product must be removed from the market.
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.
