R.B.C.A. Import and Export Ltd., the official importer of Floraline products from France, has announced a voluntary recall of its "Cooking Cereal Mix" (Durum wheat semolina and tapioca, 500g).

The affected product has batch number L5071O (all time codes) and an expiration date of December 31, 2028. The product barcode is 3177960003611 and it weighs 500 grams.

Ergot alkaloids can cause adverse health effects, including gastrointestinal issues such as nausea and vomiting, neurological problems like spasms, seizures, and sensory disturbances, and vascular effects related to blood vessel constriction.
