 WATCH: On February 27, Disney+ will host the highly anticipated launch of FX's new series "Shōgun."

The bestselling book by James Clavell is adapted into an original film called "Shōgun," which takes place in 1600s Japan at the start of a civil war that would last a century. Producer Hiroyuki Sanada plays "Lord Yoshii Toranaga," a man fighting for his life against a coalition of opponents on the Council of Regents.

The English pilot of the mysterious European ship, "John Blackthorne" (Cosmo Jarvis), arrives with secrets that could help Toranaga tip the scales of power and destroy the powerful influence of Blackthorne's own enemies, the Portuguese merchants and Jesuit priests. The ship is discovered stranded in a nearby fishing village. Mariko must balance her obligation to her late father, her newfound friendship with Blackthorne, and her adherence to the religion that kept her alive while serving her master in this volatile political environment. The cast of "Shōgun," which is highly regarded in Japan, is unheard of in an American production. It stars Tadanobu Asano as "Kashigi Yabushige," a renowned liar and close ally of Toranaga; Hiroto Kanai as "Kashigi Omi," the young leader of the fishing village where Blackthorne's ship was found; Takehiro Hira as "Ishido Kazunari," a formidable bureaucrat and chief rival of Toranaga; Moeka Hoshi as "Usami Fuji," a widow forced to find new meaning amidst her lord's conflict; Tokuma Nishioka as "Toda Hiromatsu," Toranaga's most trusted general and closest friend; Shinnosuke Abe as "Toda Hirokatsu" ("Buntaro"), Mariko's envious husband; Yuki Kura. Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks are the creators of "Shōgun," with Marks serving as Executive Producer and Showrunner and Kondo, Edward L. McDonnell, Michael De Luca, and Michaela Clavell as co-creators. FX Productions is in charge of producing the show.

Aflatoxin levels in Woolworths' house brand peanut butter dairy ice cream surpassed the legal limit, prompting the most recent product recall, which was notified on Friday. Under the Thokoman, Goodylife, and Goody Brands as well as a number of house brands for large retailers, Thokoman Foods manufactures peanut butter for the local and export markets in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in the Middle East. The business is not associated with Woolworths. The family-run firm was established in 1999, and it has been producing peanut butter for 24 years. "Thokoman is the third largest brand in the country, but we are the largest producer of peanut butter in the nation." Peanut butter is the source of all of our revenue, Thokoman's head of marketing David Sieff said to IOL on Saturday.


About 150 South Africans work for the firm in various functional divisions and manufacturing facilities.

When asked how the organization keeps up its strict safety standards, they said that they employ five procedures to guarantee the caliber of their output.
