Asahi Group Foods, a food maker, announced that it will voluntarily collect more than 35,000 pieces of confectionery for infants, alleging that they contain metal foreign substances.
Of the “Snack from 1 year old + DHA black soybean kinako cookie”, we will collect it voluntarily.
▽ Products with a best-by date of January 2023 and “B0” or “B1” next to the deadline,
▽ The expiration date is February 2023, and there are more than 35,000 products with “B4” written next to them.
According to the company, on the 9th of this month, the customer who bought the product contacted the company of the manufacturing contractor that “foreign matter is mixed”, and when I investigated it, it was 0.07 mm thick and about 1 cm long. It turned out that the metal lead wire was mixed.
Since this lead wire seems to be part of the equipment that checks the temperature on the production line for baking cookie dough, it is said that it was decided to voluntarily collect products made on the same line.
It is said that there are no reports of health hazards so far, but it will be announced on the website as soon as the method of voluntary collection is decided.
Asahi Group Foods said, “We deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused. Children may hurt their mouths by eating, so please do not eat if you have the target product at hand. I will. “
