What to do now
The issue with Home Taste Suya Mix is legal as well as safety-related: it contains something that has not been approved for use in food here.
- Do not use any more of it.
- If you take other medicines or are pregnant, mention the product to a pharmacist.
- Take it back to the shop where you bought it for a full refund, or throw it away if you prefer. You do not usually need a receipt.
- If you froze some or put it into another container, check those portions too.
Why it matters. Ingredients have to be assessed before they can be sold in food. An unauthorised one has not been shown to be safe at the amounts used, and some act like medicines.
