The agency says food manufacturers Triclover — producer of Clovers Nuts Smooth and Clovers Nuts Chocolate brands — and Mother’s Nature have been instructed to discontinue the production or sale of substandard peanut butter. This means the three companies can no longer use the Kebs standardisation mark to label their food brands. “Additionally, the manufacturers should recall all the substandard products and institute corrective actions,” reads Kebs’ statement in part. In the notice issued Monday, the Kebs said Triclover and Mother’s Nature had exceeded the maximum total aflatoxin content, which is 15 parts per billion (ppb). Clovers Nuts Smooth had aflatoxin level of 36.44 ppb, Clovers Nuts Chocolate hit 44.25 ppb while Mother Nature’s level of aflatoxin was 27.26 ppb.
