They are not compliant with food law requirements and should be withdrawn from the market and recalled from consumers”, the agency warned.
It added that despite investigations by the enforcement authorities, it has not been possible to obtain the full distribution details or product traceability record for these products.
The agency noted that the products may be potentially unsafe since they were handled in an unapproved establishment.
