Safety Warning of Original Superfoods Organic Ashwagandha Powder 50/150 grams

Dear Customer,

An increased content of ethylene oxide has been found in Ashwagandha powder of the brand Original Superfoods with best before date 25-06-2022.

In India, ethylene oxide is used as a disinfectant against bacteria and fungi. In the European Union this substance is not allowed in food.

Strict rules apply to ethylene oxide in Europe. Even if a product contains more than is allowed, it still concerns small quantities.

Consumption of a product that contains more ethylene oxide than is permitted does not immediately pose health risks. If you often and for a long time ingest large amounts of this substance, it may be harmful to your health. Frequent and long-term means that you have been ingesting it almost daily for several years.

It concerns the following product(s) that were delivered to you in the period May-September 2021:

* Original Superfoods Organic Ashwagandha Powder 50 grams, best before date 25-06-2022

* Original Superfoods Organic Ashwagandha Powder 150 grams, best before date 25-06-2022

If you still have this product in stock, we request that you do not consume it but throw it away.

We would like to hear the numbers you still have, then we will credit and reimburse them.

It only concerns this THT. All other THT's of Original Superfoods Organic Ashwagandha Powder have been tested for ethylene oxide and are OK.

Based on our HACCP hazard analysis, products are randomly tested by us. Due to the high risk, ashwaganda powder (and other products with an increased risk of contamination with ethylene oxide) will now be pre-analyzed for ethylene oxide with every delivery.

We apologize for the inconvenience!
