Woolworths has taken immediate action by issuing a recall for its peanut butter dairy ice cream.

The leading retail group issued a notice stating only the peanut butter ice cream is affected by the recall as it contains aflatoxin levels that exceed the legal limit. The product has been removed from shelves.

Customers who have purchased the product may return it to their local store for a full refund.

This recall comes in the wake of recent actions by the National Consumer Commission (NCC), which initiated recalls on various peanut butter brands earlier this month. These brands were found to contain levels of Aflatoxin that exceed the legally acceptable limits outlined in the R1145 Regulation Governing Tolerance of Fungus-Produced Toxins in Foodstuffs.

The updated list of recalled brands:

  • Dis-Chem’s Lifestyle 400 grammes Smooth and Crunchy
  • Dis-Chem’s Lifestyle 800 grammes Smooth and Crunchy
  • Wazoogles Superfoods, all sizes starting from 32g to 20kg
  • Pick n Pay’s No Name 1kg Smooth
  • Eden All Natural

Woolworths said all of its other products containing peanut butter, including its standalone peanut butter range, is deemed safe for consumption without any concerns.
