|June 09, 2025
A PEANUT butter manufacturer has agreed to pay a R500 000 administrative penalty following a product safety investigation after several peanut butter products were found to contain high levels of aflatoxin, a toxic substance produced by certain moulds.
The National Consumer Tribunal confirmed the settlement agreement between the National Consumer Commission (NCC) and peanut butter manufacturer House of Natural Butters (Pty) Ltd, trading as Eden All Butters.
According to the NCC, the supplier and the commission entered into the settlement agreement on February 25, 2025, which was subsequently referred to the Tribunal.
On June 3, 2025, the Tribunal confirmed the agreement and made it a consent order in terms of section 74(1) of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA).
