Peanuts recalled due to fungal toxin put out for sale 'in error'
==========
A batch of peanuts, specifically Value Pack Roasted Salted Peanuts, were released for sale in error by Prolife Foods in New Zealand. The recall was prompted by concerns that the peanuts could contain levels of aflatoxins above the allowable level. The affected products were sold at New World, FreshChoice, Pak'nSave, and Four Square stores. New Zealand Food Safety is investigating how the release of the recalled products happened and will review Prolife's recall system to prevent it from happening again. Consumers who purchased the affected peanuts are urged to check their pantry, not consume them, and return them to the place of purchase for a refund. Aflatoxins are naturally occurring in many food products and are produced by a group of molds that grow on foods produced in hot and tropical climates. While the health risk is low in this case, any release of recalled products is of concern. New Zealand Food Safety has not received any notifications of associated illness.
