Summary:
Category 2 alert for information: Recall of batches of Seven Seas Omega-3 & Immunity due to the presence of 2-chloroethanol, a recognised reaction product of ethylene oxide.
Message:
Procter & Gamble Ireland is recalling the above batches of Seven Seas Omega-3 & Immunity 30 Day Duo Pack due to the presence of 2-chloroethanol, which is a recognised reaction product of 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.
