A cheese recall affects customers in all federal states.
The manufacturer warns of foreign bodies in the product that can be dangerous.
Stuttgart - The manufacturer garmo AG has started a
recall
for several
cheese
products of the
GAZi
brand
.
According to the manufacturer, the cheese concerned was distributed throughout Germany and may therefore have been sold throughout the country.
Therefore, customers from all federal states should pay attention to the recall * and refrain from consuming it.
Overall, the recall applies to three Turkish cheese specialties from the GAZi range.
Cheese recall at GAZi applies to the following products
GAZi Yumak Örgü Peyniri - Finely sliced braided cheese, approx. 200 g, vacuum-sealed
GAZi Yumak Örgü Peyniri - Finely sliced braided cheese, 200 g, vacuum-sealed
GAZi Örgü Peyniri - braided cheese, approx. 250 g, vacuum-sealed
The
batches
that may pose a risk have also been named more precisely.

Reasons for the cheese recall - health hazard from metal parts

It cannot be ruled out that there are
foreign bodies
in the cheese.
Specifically, it is about the risk that there are small
metal particles
in the above-mentioned products.
Video: Why are there so many product recalls?
The cheese was withdrawn from
sale
after the recall
.
Customers should not consume the products.
Anyone who has bought one of the affected cheeses with a corresponding best-before date can return it to the store.
In this case, the customer will be reimbursed the cost of the purchase.
How big is the risk with this cheese recall?
Foreign bodies in
food
can in principle pose a serious health risk.
The current recall serves to minimize the risk of injury.
"[We] take possible risks very seriously and would like to apologize for the inconvenience," said garmo AG.
In addition to this cheese recall, another manufacturer is recalling a fish product at the same time.
In this case, too, there is a risk of serious health consequences if consumed.
