There is no immediate health risk, but there could be health issues if
BATCHES OF Linwoods Milled Flax seeds are being recalled due to pesticide being present, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland has said.
Packets of ‘Linwoods Milled Flax, Sunflower, Pumpkin & Sesame Seeds & Goji Berries’ are being recalled due to the presence of the pesticide ethylene oxide in the sesame seeds.
The batches are:
This pesticide is not authorised for use in foods sold in the EU.
Although the consumption of products containing the contaminated sesame seeds do not pose an immediate risk to health, there may be heath issues if there is continued consumption of ethylene oxide over a long period.
Therefore, exposure to this substance needs to be minimised. Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores supplied with the implicated batch.
