Nigerians have been warned to stop the consumption of an organic apple and blackcurrant originating from Australia.

This was disclosed by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control Director-General, Moji Adeyeye. She said that the products had been certified harmful for human consumption.

“The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) of Hong Kong’s Food and Environmental Hygiene Department has warned against the consumption of Pure Tassie Organic Apple and Blackcurrant Juice originating from Australia.

This was due to (an) unacceptable level of patulin (a mycotoxin) which had exceeded the maximum limit in fruit juice which could induce liver, spleen and kidney damage.” She said.
