The retail giant recalled the product on Friday urging those who may have bought the ice cream to return it to their local stores for a full refund.
JOHANNESBURG - Woolworths has recalled its peanut butter dairy ice cream after it was found that it has high levels of a naturally occurring toxin known as aflatoxin.
Retail giant Woolworths said some of its products were taken for testing after stores including Dischem and Pick n Pay removed peanut butter brands off the shelves as they were believed to be unsafe for consumption. Aflatoxin is a mold that occurs naturally during food production and is usually found in nuts, maize and rice.
