What has been withdrawn

In Poland, Auchan stores have suspended sales of one batch of Azercay green tea in 100 g packs. The batch number is 06/09/28, and the EAN code is 4760062103090 (Alarm w sklepach Auchan. Proszą klientów o zwrot tej herbaty – Fakt) (Natychmiastowe wycofanie ze sprzedaży w Polsce. Nie spożywaj – Interia Kobieta). Information about the decision was posted on the website of the Auchan Polska chain (Herbata wycofana ze sprzedaży. Pilny komunikat z sieciówki – WP abcZdrowie).

Why the decision was made

The reason was the testing of a sample in which levels of three pesticides were found to exceed the maximum permissible residue levels: acetamiprid, dinotefuran and tolfenpyrad. Sales were suspended for this reason alone.

The withdrawal notice was published by the company AZERSMAK Sp. z o.o. on 2 November 2026..

What customers should do

Buyers were asked not to consume tea from this batch, as the chain clearly indicated the batch number to check. People who bought it can return the product to the store, and the seller covers the return costs (Popularna herbata znika z półek w całej Polsce. Przekroczono najwyższe dopuszczalne normy – pacjenci.pl). Before returning it, it is worth checking the batch number on the packaging.

According to the chain's information, the withdrawal covers only the indicated batch, not the entire range of teas of this brand.
