Recall of Yeast cubes due to the presence of foreign matter contamination

Products Recalled:

 Fresh yeast in cubes (42g) from the BIOREAL brand [1]. 

Problem:

  • Fresh yeast cubes (42g) from the BIOREAL brand are recalled by the FASFC from 16-11-2022. 
  • Due to the potential presence of microscopic metal fragments, this recall was prompted by a signal sent via the RASFF system (European Food and Feed Rapid Alert System). 
  • The AFSCA requests that you return this item to the retailer rather than using it. 

Scientific Evidence:  

Ingesting metal fragments may be injurious to the consumer. Dental damage, mouth and throat laceration, or laceration or perforation of the intestine are some examples of the injury.
