[Commentary] Recently, IKEA food importers received a test report provided by the Shenzhen Market Supervision and Administration Bureau. The report shows that the mold content of a mixed fruit dried oatmeal exceeds the standard. As a preventive measure, IKEA immediately stopped all products in the Chinese mainland market. The sales of the mall and related investigations are carried out. Customers who have already purchased can return to the mall and receive a full refund. On May 13, a reporter from the China News Service visited the IKEA Nanjing Store.
[Explanation] In the afternoon, the reporter came to the IKEA Nanjing shopping mall near Qiahuai District, Nanjing City. In the snack sales area on the second floor, the dried fruit mixed cereals have been removed from the shelves, and another cereal is still on sale.

IKEA attaches great importance to food safety, so after receiving this information from the test report, we immediately removed all the food involved.
[Commentary] The staff told reporters that the batch of oatmeal that was found to be out-of-standard this time had 120 boxes in IKEA Nanjing, and two boxes have been sold.

Consumers have objections or concerns about the purchase of related batches of products. We also urge him to contact us as soon as possible. We will process the return and exchange. If he feels unwell, we also recommend him to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
[Commentary] Afterwards, the reporter logged on to the IKEA official website and found that the cereal showed that it was sold out online and could not be clicked to buy.
