There is a risk of harmful residues which can lead to poisoning in humans. 

  • Rewe reported the product recall for sesame bagels from the

    Aldente`s Brotwelt

    brand

    .

  • The reason is that the

    baking bagels

    could be contaminated

    with harmful

    residues

    .

  • Consumption could possibly lead to

    poisoning

    in humans

Munich - The supermarket chain

Rewe

announced the

recall of

a certain baking product.

Affected are the "

Bagels Sesame 340 g

" from

Aldente`s Brotwelt

.

According to the press release, the reason is an “excessive level of pesticide residues” on the sesame seeds.

More precisely, it is about residues of the toxic gas

ethylene oxide

, as Rewe reports.

At high doses this can even cause severe

poisoning

in humans.

Consumers

who

notice symptoms such as headache, dizziness and nausea or vomiting

after consuming such a bagel with a

best before date of 23 September 2020 to 13 November 2020

should have a doctor examine them.

Recall at Rewe: The product "Bagels Sesam" from the brand Aldente`s Brotwelt is recalled

Anyone who

still has the

Rewe

item

with the stated best-before date at home should, as a precaution, no longer consume the product and can bring it back to the point of sale.

According to the hazardous substance information system of the German Social Accident Insurance (GESTIS substance database), ethylene oxide can be absorbed through the eyes and skin and has an irritating effect.

If the dosage is too high,

ethylene oxide

can lead

to twitching and cramps in humans, and in the worst case even to coma.

In Belgium, several

sesame bagels

from other

manufacturers have

been recalled

in the past few weeks

due to harmful residues.
