The Icelandic Health Authority warns: They have found toxins in the ecological roses

Once again the National Board of Health warns again about one food that is not advisable to eat.

This time it is raisins, namely »Irma Øko Thompson Raisins 300 g«.

There are three shipments of these organic raisins that have now been recalled.

The question is:

Irma Organic Thompson Raisins 300 gNet weight: 300 g

Batch nr.: 8026191; Best fyri: 16.02.2026

Batch nr.: 8026089; Best fyri: 28.01.2025

Batch nr.: 8025878; Best fyri: 09.01.2026

The reason for the warning is that it has been confirmed that there is too much of the substance, ochratoxin, in the raisins.

Ochratoxin can damage the liver and may also cause cancer.

But the National Board of Health emphasizes that there is no direct risk of eating a little raisin. It’s only when people, for longer. time, eat food with ochratoxin, that there is any health problem. However, they say that because of the ochratoxin in these raisins, people should not eat them.

Therefore, the National Board of Health recommends that those who are inside with these raisins throw them away, or go back to the store with them.
