The FSAI announced the recall of Aptonia sports food products by Decathlon due to the presence of the unauthorized pesticide 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.
The recalled products are:
- Aptonia Vitamins and Minerals 30 tablets Orange flavour
- Aptonia salts caps 100 capsules
- Aptonia Electrolytes tablets Ecosize lemon flavour 2x20 tablets
- Aptonia Electrolytes tablets rasperry flavour 2x20 tablets
- Aptonia Electrolytes tablets lemon flavour 2x20 tablets
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 minimized.
In case you are experiencing food poisoning symptoms, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance.
