Pepper gift set set recalled from nationwide chain after mold and toxin were found
A Peppercorn Collection Gift Set made by Something South African has been recalled from World Market stores after mold and Ochratoxin A were found in one of the set’s eight peppers.
World Market’s 258 locations are sprinkled around the country, from Florida to North Carolina to Texas to California and many points in-between.
“The recall was initiated when our supplier notified us that mold (Aspergillus brasiliensis) and Ochratoxin A were detected in the Malaysian Long Pepper,” the company-written, FDA-posted recall notice said. “The company has ceased the production and distribution of the product as our supplier continues with their root cause investigation.”
If you have this gift set with the Malaysian Long Pepper with a Best Before End date of JUN/2024 and Batch No. 494951-T on the package, return it to the store for a full refund. Or, trash it. But, don’t consume it.
If you have questions about this recall, reach out to Something South African by emailing info@somethingsouthafrican.net or calling 425-890-3031, Monday-Friday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Eastern time.
