The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has issued a notice warning of the withdrawal of a brand of rice cakes due to an unpermitted additive.
The alert issued on July 9 refers to the presence of additive Erythrosine (E 127) in Mong Lee Shang, Taiwan Mochi Glutinous Rice Cakes with Taro Paste in pack size 300g.
Batches affected have Taiwan listed as their country of origin and have the following best before dates: 31/08/2020, 30/11/2020, 15/04/2021, 31/05/2021, 15/07/2021 and 30/09/2021.
