Health warnings on pistachios, Nesquick product and winter melon

Health authories have published warnings on two raw pistachio products, a Nesquick chocolate wager, and winter melons. 

The two pistachio products identified are raw pistachio packets in 300g and 500g units from the brand Daily Fresh, with an expiry date of 12/10/2027. These products are not to be consumed due to high levels of aflatoxins. 

A second warning was published on a Nesquick milk chocolate wafer due to inadequate labelling. Since the product was placed on the market without the mandatory information being provided in an official language, consumers may be unable to read the allergen declarations. 

The third warning was against wax gourds/winter melons, also known as Calabaza China. This product was imported without proper authorisation and is considered a "novel food". 

For further information, the public is kindly requested to contact the Food Safety and Security Authority between 7:30am and 2:30pm via telephone +356 26025211 or by email at [email protected].
