Recall of Krstavica 6-9 670 g K Classic after chlorpyrifos traces
Krstavica 6-9 670 g K Classic (LOT L150626N106) recalled in Croatia after elevated chlorpyrifos residues; buyers can return it to Kaufland for refund.
The Croatian State Inspectorate has ordered an urgent recall of a jarred cucumber product after tests found elevated residues of the pesticide chlorpyrifos.
The affected item is Krstavica 6-9 670 g K Classic, sold in Kaufland stores and produced by Naturala d.o.o. from Slatina. Authorities specified the recalled batch with serial LOT L150626N106 and barcode 3858893130543; the product's best-before date is 8 February 2029.
What consumers should do
Retailer and producer statements emphasise that the withdrawal is being carried out as a precautionary measure to protect consumer health and in line with food safety rules. Customers who purchased the specific jar should return it to the point of sale, where they will receive information on refunds or returns.
Those seeking further details or assistance can contact the company's customer service through its official website.
Because many citizens of North Macedonia live, study or work in Croatia and frequent regional supermarkets, authorities warn shoppers across the region to check their pantry and follow return instructions if they bought the affected lot.
The recall notice highlights continued monitoring of pesticide residues in imported and domestic foodstuffs and underlines the role of rapid intervention when limits are exceeded.
