Batches of Nestlé Milkybar and Nuii ice creams recalled over presence of unauthorised pesticide

The FSAI announced the recall on its website this evening.

CERTAIN BATCHES OF Nestlé Milkybar mini multipack ice cream and Nuii salted caramel ice cream are being recalled due to the presence of the unauthorised pesticide ethylene oxide. 

Milkybar Ice cream FSAI FSAI

Nuii Salted Caramel Ice cream FSAI FSAI

The pesticide ethylene oxide is present in the batch of food additive locust bean gum (E410) used in their production. 

Locust bean gum (E410) is an approved food additive in the EU and is used as a thickener and stabiliser in a broad range of food products. 

Ethylene oxide is a pesticide that is not permitted for use in foods sold in the EU. However, it’s approved for use by other countries outside the EU. 

Although the consumption of the contaminated products doesn’t pose an acute risk to health, there is an increased risk if there is continued consumption of ethylene oxide in contaminated food over a long period of time, according to the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI). 

“Therefore, exposure to ethylene oxide needs to be minimised,” the FSAI says. 

The implicated batches of the Nestlé Milkybar mini multipack ice cream and Nuii salted caramel ice cream products are as follows:

Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in stores supplied with the implicated batches.

    To get into leadership positions and turn them into violent organisations so the rest of the police could send in Thatcher’s skull smashers. Entrapment comes to mind (and rape in the case of these rapist policemen).

    Because I know an undercover detective who was ‘married’ three times – in three different counties/with different names – with the sole aim of infiltrating gangland/terrorist families and organisations.

    So he was a successful under cover detective that managed to infiltrate terrorist AND gangland organisations, presumably one of the handest tasks imaginable, and he told you all about it so you could tell everyone on the Journal about it? That seems plausible!!!

    These guys were sent,undercover,into these organisations to encourage violence and vandalism and thus allow once peaceful members to be arrested,charged and convicted, thus denying their cause any legitimacy. It is a tactic dating back to union busting in the US 100 years ago.

    When obliged to give evidence, this chaps do it ‘in camera’ – or behind screens – to protect their anonymity. Voices are distorted digitally – the same as in NI, mainland UK and virtually all EU countries.
