The measure affects the Indian AWL Agri Business 1-liter products with a production date of May 5, 2025 and a best before date of June 6, 2027.

According to the information, the product was imported to Hungary by a Dutch importer (Caribecom Trading BV) arrived via. The authority began an investigation based on a report received through the EU’s Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) and immediately contacted the Hungarian distributor.

The company has taken the necessary measures, has ensured that the affected item is recalled from consumers, and the authority is monitoring the further fate of the recalled products (destruction or removal) – they said.
