Warning issued over four foods with dodgy expiry dates

HEALTH officials are advising the public not to buy or consume four food products until their correct expiry date is determined.

The four foodstuffs are: Bisto Powder 454g, Lion Creamed Horse Radish sauce 165g, Callisto stuffed vine leaves 2kg, and Lyle’s Black Treacle gravy powder 454g.

Health inspectors suspect the products’ expiry dates may have been tampered with. The products, discovered in the warehouse of a distributor, were labelled ‘Exp Date’, and not ‘BBE’ (Best Before End) as they should have been.

Some of the above foodstuffs have already found their way to store shelves, and officials are urging anyone who may have already bought any of them to avoid consuming until further notice.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. 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.
