Please do not eat - risk of injury: A popular cheese manufacturer warns its customers - small organic parts can be in one of its organic grated cheeses.
- Cheese maker is calling back its grated cheese nationwide.
- There could be plastic parts in the product.
- Customers will be refunded the purchase price upon return.
Munich / Andechs - Instead of laboriously unpacking the cheese grater to process the block of cheese, many cheese lovers in the supermarket grab a grated version directly. Because grated cheese is now available from a wide variety of manufacturers and therefore also from very different types of cheese. However, anyone who has bought a pack of grated cheese from the Andechser Molkerei Scheitz when buying groceries should be extremely cautious at the moment.
Andechser Molkerei Scheitz calls back grated cheese
The Upper Bavarian dairy is recalling the article "Andechser Natur Bio-Reibekäse" in a resealable 150 gram bag with the best before date April 3, 2020. The warning affects the whole country - because the cheese from the Upper Bavarian dairy is sold nationwide in food retailers and health food stores.
As the reason for the recall , the dairy explains on its website: "The product could contain blue, very small (approx. 3.3 millimeters) pieces of blue plastic." The company strongly warns against consuming the product with this best before date. The plastic parts pose a possible risk of injury. If there is another best-before date on the product or it is even a different product of the brand, there is no need to worry.
Cheese recall: there could be plastic parts in the product
Customers who already have the grated cheese at home, including the corresponding expiry date, can simply bring the product to the respective stores where they bought it. The purchase price will then be reimbursed in full.
Andechser Dairy has also set up a telephone hotline for those who have questions about the cheese warning . You can reach someone there from Monday to Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on 0800 5893785.
The Bauer Freigeist dairy is recalling a popular soft cheese product. E. coli bacteria were apparently discovered in a camembert made by the cheese maker.
A cheese sold at Edeka has now been recalled for another reason - because listeria have been found again.
