Organic tea recalled: abnormalities discovered in random samples
Recall: Pyrrolizidine alkaloids - Bünting recalls organic fennel-anise-caraway teahttps: //t.co/yKscvTRMr9
- Product Warning (@ Product Warning1) September 6, 2020
The
organic tea
is being recalled because an investigation * of random samples found an increased value of two substances, as also
wa.de
* reported.
These are increased levels of
pyrrolizidine alkaloids
(PA) and
tropane alkaloids
(TA).
According to the report, these alkaloids are secondary
phytonutrients
.
Some plant species can produce these themselves.
This is how the plants protect themselves from their natural
predators
.
The regular consumption of products that
are contaminated
with these
alkaloids
should, however, be avoided according to the communication.
Recall of organic tea: elevated levels noted - health problems possible
Food
that is contaminated with pyrrolizidine alkaloids and consumed regularly can be harmful to health.
The
consumer should therefore be avoided
.
Regular consumption of foods that are contaminated with tropane alkaloids should also be avoided, as these foods can also
lead
to
health problems
.
Customers who bought the affected tea with the above batch numbers and best before date are asked to return the tea to the respective retail outlet.
There the purchase price will be refunded even without presenting the receipt.
