The Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) has ordered that all coconut oil stocks under the ‘N-Joy’ brand be withdrawn from the market, the CAA Information Department said.


CAA officials said the tests carried out on N-Joy products yesterday had revealed the presence of carcinogenic aflatoxin in the products.


However, a senior CAA official said that N-Joy coconut oil was made using local copra.
