ANYONE who has bought the Alce Nero Organic Whole Wheat Biscuits 'Frollini Con Farina Integrale Biologica' (350g) from Italy, with the best-before date of Jan 23, 2009, should throw them away.
The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) said in a statement yesterday that importers and retailers have been told to recall that particular batch immediately. This follows an alert from the European Commission that the biscuits have been found to contain high levels of peroxide; 'an indication of degraded food quality which may result in rancidity, deterioration in taste and flavour', the AVA said.
Those with queries can call the AVA hotline on 1800-226-2250.
