resort to the product.

Recall from Penny: Hazelnuts can cause shock in allergy sufferers
The consumption of
Ruby Peals with hazelnuts is
safe
for customers without food allergies
.
For people with a hazelnut allergy, however, consumption can be very dangerous.
The consumer portal Produktwarnung.eu warns that food allergies can cause very different reactions.
In some allergy sufferers, contact with hazelnuts causes the mucous membranes in the mouth and nose to swell.
Gastrointestinal complaints can also occur.
The German Allergy and Asthma Association warns that very sensitive people and especially children can also experience an anaphylactic shock.
Then the circulation can also be affected and those affected can lose consciousness.
Aldente GmbH, which brought the product on the market in Germany, apologizes in the press release for the inconvenience.
If customers have any questions, they can contact a telephone hotline on (02921) 96 986 42.
The hotline is manned Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
In addition, customers can send questions and suggestions by email to info@aldente-soest.de.
