JOHANNESBURG - The National Consumer Commission has issued a notice to recall various peanut butter brands manufactured by House of Natural Butters.
The commission said the decision was taken after the manufacturer informed it of higher than legally acceptable levels of Aflatoxin.
Failing to meet the quality standards rendered the brands unsafe for human consumption.
The recall affects Dischem’s Lifestyle 400 and 800-gram Smooth and Crunchy, Wazoogles Superfoods - all sizes; Pick n’ Pay’s No Name 1KG smooth and Eden All Natural peanut butter.

Acting National Consumer Commissioner Thezi Mabuza:
"You are urged to immediately stop consuming these products and return them to the point of purchase for a full refund even if you do not have proof of purchase. These brands are for now not safe for human consumption"
Some of the brands were distributed nationally, while Wazoogles Superfoods products were distributed mainly in the Western Cape.
