[PIO] Recall of food from the Cypriot market

The Ministry of Health informs the consuming public that the Ministry's Health Services, as part of their official market controls, have taken samples of the following foodstuff, which, following laboratory tests at the accredited laboratories of the General State Chemistry Laboratory, has been found to contain sesame, without being indicated on its label (list of ingredients), in breach of the provisions of the legislation in force on food labelling:

Food name: CAPERA ALESMENI Manufacturer's label: ARTOPOIEON-COOLOPOIEON MAROULA TOMPAZOU & SONS LTD Best before / BEST BEFORE: 28.12.23 Ingredients: Flour, yeast, salt Weight: 500g

Sesame is among the allergens and can cause health problems in people who are allergic to it.

Below is a photo of the food for easy identification:

The Health Services of the Ministry of Health have already informed the company that manufactures and distributes the food in question in the Cypriot market, with instructions for an immediate recall/withdrawal of all quantities of this batch.

However, as some quantity of this batch of the food may already be in the possession of consumers who have an allergic reaction to the consumption of sesame, they are advised to avoid consuming it and to return it to the premises where they purchased it.
