GraceKennedy Foods recalling batches of fruit punch
GraceKennedy Foods (GK Foods) is voluntarily recalling
specific batches of Grace Tropical Rhythms Fruit Punch 1L distributed in Guyana and other parts of the Caribbean.
In a release dated October 2nd, GK Foods said that the affected Grace Tropical Rhythms Fruit Punch 1L product bears either of the following best-before (BB) codes on the top of the package:
• BB JUL 21 27 L6
• BB JUL 22 27 L6
The other parts of the Caribbean that are subject to the recall are Jamaica, Barbados, Saint Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands, and St. Maarten.
The release said that the voluntary recall is limited to the affected batches and markets identified above and does not apply to any other batches of Grace Tropical Rhythms Fruit Punch 1L or to products distributed in other markets.
Based on the assessments conducted and information available to date, the release said that the matter is considered a product-quality issue rather than a food-safety concern.
“No adverse health effects are expected from consumption of the affected product, and GK Foods has received no reports of illness or other adverse health effects associated with its consumption”, the release added.
Andrea Coy, CEO of GraceKennedy Foods, stated, “The quality of our products and the trust consumers place in Grace are extremely important to us. While this is primarily a quality issue, we
are voluntarily recalling the affected batches as a precaution and to ensure that the products available to our consumers continue to meet the standards they expect from Grace.”
She added, “We are working closely with our distributors and retail partners across the affected markets to remove the product as quickly as possible and sincerely apologise to our consumers and
customers for the inconvenience this may cause.”
Consumers in the affected markets who have Grace Tropical Rhythms Fruit Punch 1L bearing either of the identified codes are advised not to consume the product and to return it to the place of
purchase for a full refund or replacement.
Consumers requiring additional information may also email [email protected] or call (876) 922-3440.
