If you’ve bought some red seedless grapes from your local Albert Heijn recently, you may want to hold off on eating them until you’ve read this. 👇
Dutch supermarket giant Albert Heijn has decided to immediately recall packages of its own-brand seedless grapes, due to dangerously high levels of the plant compound ethephon.
Which grapes?
The grapes in question are the 250 and 500 gram packages of AH seedless grapes (AH Rode druiven pitloos).
You’ll be able to recognise them with the product code 44-G on the front of the packaging.
How can I get a refund?
If you’ve bought the grapes at a physical Albert Heijn store, you can bring them back to the outlet and receive a full refund of the purchase price.
Meanwhile, if you’ve bought these grapes online, you can fill out Albert Heijn’s form for product complaints to get your refund.
It’s perfectly normal to have questions or concerns, and Albert Heijn recommends reaching out to their customer service for more details.
