Clover is the latest major food producer to pull its peanut butter product from shelves.
This follows tests that showed its 400g Go Nuts Peanut Butter contains dangerous levels of Aflatoxin, a poisonous substance produced by certain fungi naturally found on crops such as peanuts, tree nuts, maize, and grains.
In February, the National Consumer Commission (NCC) called on peanut butter manufacturers to test their products after it forced several retailers to recall theirs.
