Halle, Belgium, 2016-Aug-27 — /EPR Retail News/ — Following reports of customers, we found the yeast saccharomyces in the 100% pure squeezed orange juice of Everyday (fresh market, plastic 2 l bottle).
Saccharomyces is a yeast that converts sugars into gas making it possible for the bottle to tear or burst open (especially during transport). There is no health risk at all. The orange juice can taste sour, but it can be consumed. Meanwhile, all bottles have been removed from the shelves as a precaution.
Customers who bought this product, are advised to open it carefully outside and to return the empty bottle or their receipt to their Colruyt or OKay store. It will be refunded.
