- Specific batches of Citro-Soda Regular are being recalled due to potential foreign material contamination at the Clayville manufacturing plant.
- The recall affects 60g, 120g, and 30-sachet packs with batch numbers beginning with “C” and expiry dates on or before November 2027.
- This incident follows a string of recent South African product alerts involving baby formula, pet food, and toxin-contaminated peanut butter.
South Africa’s pharmaceutical and retail sectors are facing another safety hurdle as Citro-Soda becomes the latest product to be pulled from shelves.
Health authorities and manufacturer Adcock Ingram have issued a targeted recall for specific batches of the popular antacid following a contamination risk identified at a Johannesburg production facility.
The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) confirmed the move after “potential foreign material” was discovered during the production process.
While the recall is preventative, it highlights ongoing concerns regarding manufacturing standards, as this follows several high-profile recalls across the food and medicinal industries in recent months.
Members of the public are urged to inspect their medicine cabinets for the affected “Regular” variety. Only products manufactured at the Clayville site are included in this notice.
Those in possession of the identified batches should return them to the point of purchase. No other variants of the product are currently reported to be affected by this specific safety grade.
