  • Klemen Burgar, a farm operator, has recalled several cooked potato products due to the potential presence of sulfur dioxide.
  • The recall affects whole, diced, cubed, and halved cooked potatoes.
  • Consumers are advised not to consume the products and can return them for a refund or discard them.

Klemen Burgar, operating a supplementary farm activity, has initiated a recall of multiple cooked potato products. The reason for the recall is the potential presence of sulfur dioxide, a substance used as a preservative and antioxidant.

The affected products include whole cooked potatoes, cooked potatoes diced into cubes, and cooked potatoes cut into halves. Burgar is urging customers who have purchased these items not to consume them.

Consumers are instructed to return the products to the point of purchase for a full refund. If returning the items is not feasible, customers are advised to dispose of them safely. Sulfur dioxide, while used to prevent spoilage, can cause adverse reactions in sensitive individuals.

This recall is a precautionary measure to ensure consumer safety and prevent any potential health issues arising from the presence of undeclared or excessive levels of sulfur dioxide in the affected potato products.
