A recall notice posted by @Fred123 Metcash - Community Co Pink Himalayan Salt Grinder 115g, Black Peppercorns Grinder 50g & Sea Salt Grinder 115g Recall has possibly raised an issue of whether the plastic grinders are faulty by nature. As the recall isn’t really clear of how the contamination occurs it could be linked to the grinding of the product rather than being introduced during packaging.
In the topic I posed the question of whether CHOICE might undertake some investigation of these plastic grinders to determine if the grinders are a problem due to the use of the plastic in the grinding mechanism. The results of any testing may highlight problems with particular designs or the entire idea of using plastic in such an environment as the grinding parts.
