MADRID, Spain—Spain's Health Ministry has ended a warning against using sunflower oil, saying a contaminated batch has been removed from outlets.

A ministry spokesman says none of the batch of tainted sunflower oil that came from the Ukraine will be on store shelves starting Monday.

Since Friday, the government has warned people against buying sunflower oil. The government had said that the shipment from the Ukraine had arrived at Rotterdam and that France, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain had received deliveries.

The oil had been withdrawn in other countries before reaching retail outlets.

The ministry did not specify what effects the oil could have on consumers' health but insisted it was not toxic.
