Message:
Decathlon is recalling the below batches (lot
numbers) of Aptonia sports food products due to the presence of the
unauthorised pesticide ethylene oxide. Ethylene oxide is a pesticide that is
not permitted for use in foods sold in the EU but is approved for use by other
countries outside the EU. Although the consumption of the contaminated product
does not pose an acute risk to health, there is an increased risk if there
is continued consumption of contaminated food over a long period of time.
Therefore, exposure to this substance needs to be minimised. Point-of-sale
recall notices will be displayed in stores supplied with the implicated
batches.
