The products being recalled are packaged in the USA and distributed within the USA, Bermuda and the Bahamas. The recall was due to the presence of lead in some variants of curry products.
Lead can accumulate in the body over time, and may cause serious and sometimes permanent adverse health consequences. To date, no illnesses have been reported in connection with the products being recalled.
Consumers who may have purchased the Grace Curry products bearing the above best before dates and corresponding batch numbers, should not consume them. Instead they should return same to point of purchase, where the full cost will be refunded. The best before dates and batch numbers can be found on the top of the product caps.
Mr Ryan Mack, President and CEO of GraceKennedy Foods, stated “GraceKennedy wishes to assure consumers that their safety is paramount and that providing safe, high quality products to our consumers remains our number one priority.” He added that the recall did not include any other batches of Grace Curry products.
