At this stage, until all peanut butters are proven to be safe, consumers might want to steer clear of all products containing the spread.
Dischem’s Lifestyle Smooth and Crunchy, Wazoogles Superfoods, Pick n Pay’s No Name smooth and Eden All Natural have been recalled.
The NCC said the manufacturer of these peanut butters, House of Natural Butters, had found all the brands to have higher than legally acceptable levels of aflatoxin, which make them unsafe for human consumption. Aflatoxins are potent liver carcinogens, which can cause cancer in all animal species, including humans.
Aflatoxin can cross the placental barrier, affecting the foetus, who will then be more likely to be stunted if exposed after birth to the toxin. The danger is obvious. If one factory or assembly line is infected, then a host of other food is at risk. You could be sitting at a family dinner table with 5 different contaminated edibles. All branded differently but from the same source!!
