Luxembourg Authorities Recall Blédina Products Over Mycotoxin Risk

The Luxembourg Veterinary and Food Administration (Alva) has issued a recall of several Blédina brand products after tests revealed an excessively high level of aflatoxin B1, a type of mycotoxin. These toxic substances, produced by certain molds, can contaminate food and pose health risks if consumed repeatedly over long periods.
The alert has been classified at orange level, which corresponds to a medium risk. Authorities emphasize that occasional consumption is unlikely to cause harm, but prolonged intake could have adverse effects.

The affected Blédina products were distributed in multiple retail outlets across Luxembourg. Alva has urged consumers not to consume these items and instead return them to the reception desk of their point of purchase for a refund or safe disposal.
Officials describe the contamination as a one-off incident rather than a systemic issue. Still, this recall follows previous cases in Luxembourg involving cereals and baby foods, underlining the importance of continuous monitoring and strict food safety standards.
For parents, health authorities stress that there is no immediate danger, but they recommend checking pantries carefully and discarding any products matching the recall notice.
