"The public will wish to be aware that groundnut products manufactured in Ghana by Mardoro Ltd (alternative name Maduro Limited) and Jesu Aka Ltd have been found to be contaminated with excessively high levels of aflatoxins. In addition these products fail to comply with food labelling legislation. The groundnut products that are contaminated are either in the form of peanut butter or peanut paste and, to the best of our knowledge, are imported and distributed in the UK by Marduro Ltd.Despite enquiries by food enforcement officers from London Boroughs, the Agency has been unable to establish exact distribution details of these products.
