Dodgy raisins recalled

The health services on Friday recalled raisins that could cause an allergic reaction.

On the raisins, packed in small plastic bags, labelled Edesmata Chr. Chrysanthou (Kakopetria) with expiration date February 28, 2016, sulphur dioxide was found that could cause an allergic reaction.

The health ministry said it was recalling the product since the ingredients were not printed on the label.

The company that packs and distributes the raisins has been notified and asked to withdraw the product from the market.

All those consumers that have already purchased the product are urged to return it to the point of sale, the health services said.

It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
