Something South African, LLC is recalling approximately 4,200 units of the Pepper Collection 8 Tube Gift Set because they may contain mold (Aspergillus brasiliensis) and Ochratoxin A. The gift set features eight different dried pepper varieties in glass tubes, including Sarawak White, Lemon Pepper, and Chinese Szechuan, packaged together in a printed paperboard sleeve with a viewing window. These products were distributed to retailers nationwide.
The peppers were found to be contaminated with mold and Ochratoxin A, a toxic byproduct of mold that can pose health risks if consumed. While no injuries or illnesses have been reported to date, the presence of these substances makes the product unsafe for consumption.
You have 2 options:
Packed in South Africa. Includes glass tubes visible through a paperboard sleeve window.
