- Emergen-C Energy Release & Immunity Support Super Orange, 8 sachets, Lot # GU393, Best before 10/23.
Although the consumption of the contaminated product does not pose an acute risk to health, there is an increased risk if there is continued consumption of contaminated food over a long period of time. Therefore, exposure to this substance needs to be minimised.
