A current case concerns the

discounter Penny

What

sounds rather unproblematic

for people without

food sensitivity

can, however, have serious consequences: In people with a hazelnut allergy, consumption can cause serious consequences.

The consumer

portal produktwarnung.eu explains

that a mistake in chocolate can trigger different health reactions:

There is a risk of swelling of the mucous membranes in the mouth and nose, and gastrointestinal complaints can also occur.

In the worst case, there is a risk of severe anaphylactic shock in hypersensitive people - and especially children - the

German Allergy and Asthma Association

warns 

.

Then the circulation can also be affected and those affected can lose consciousness.
