Lidl, withdraw peanuts: the note from the Ministry
The Ministry of Health has announced the food withdrawal by the producer of the batch of Alesto branded peanuts in shell which are marketed and sold by the well-known Lidl chain.
The reason for the umpteenth recall is shocking: traces of aflatoxins were found beyond the permitted limits.
The packs to which the recall refers are those from 500 grams with lot number 19522P and the minimum storage term 07/2023.
As a precaution, the company has asked to return the following product to the store where the following product was purchased in order to initiate the refund procedures.
Aflatoxins are toxins produced by fungi found in certain agricultural crops including corn, nuts and peanuts. Humans are exposed to toxins by eating contaminated products or by eating the meat of animals that have eaten contaminated food.
Aflatoxins can cause damage to health both in the short to medium term and in the long term: the liver appears to be the main target.
Aflatoxin B1, for example, was cataloged in 1993 as a human carcinogen. But be careful: the aflatoxin production phase can take place both in the fields and in the storage phases.
