Regulator the National Consumer Commission (NCC) is monitoring the recall process for certain peanut butter products from peanut butter manufacturer ButtaNutt owing to higher-than-legally-acceptable levels of aflatoxin detected in the products.

The affected products, which were manufactured on January 15, failed to meet the quality standards as set out under the Department of Health’s regulation governing the tolerance of fungus-produced toxins in foodstuffs.

Aflatoxin may lead to health complications including nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, the NCC says.

The products include 100% Peanut 2.5 kg with a best before date of 13/07/2027, Chocolate Peanut 250 g with a best date of 15/07/2027, 100% Peanut 1 kg with a best before date of 17/07/2027 and 100% Peanut 2.5 kg with a best before date of 28/07/2027.

These products were sold in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, the Eastern Cape and the Western Cape through various retailers.

“Consumers should not consume, or should immediately stop consuming, the affected products and return them to the point of purchase for a full refund. The NCC is engaging the supplier on the extent of the contamination, including potentially from the raw nuts supplier,” says NCC acting commissioner Hardin Ratshisusu.
