The recall applies to loose red apples sent to Norgesgruppen's stores, including Kiwi, Joker, Meny, Spar, Eurospar and Nærbutikken, except in Bergen and surrounding areas. The apples were also distributed to Bunnpris. A total of 100 crates were sent to the stores, according to Bama.
The company said consumers who have bought these apples should throw them away, as health risks cannot be ruled out. People who have eaten the apples and feel unwell are advised to contact a doctor. Stores are currently working to remove the apples.
The specific health risks associated with the detected levels of propargite remain unclear, and it is not known whether any consumers have reported illness. The affected batches or lot numbers have not been disclosed.
