A sausage product from Rewe is being recalled due to transparent plastic particles.
Consumption is considered hazardous to health.
Dortmund – Recently there was an urgent bread recall at Rewe because the product on offer had been incorrectly labeled.
Now the food retailer is again affected by a recall.
Accordingly, an own-brand sausage contains small, transparent plastic fragments, which in the worst case can lead to internal bleeding or other injuries.
Recall of sausage product: Rewe warns of possible health risks from plastic splinters
Specifically, this is the “Lyoner with peppers and egg”, which was only sold in the Rewe markets in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The statement states that it cannot be ruled out that there are small, transparent plastic fragments in the packages.
“A health risk cannot be ruled out with absolute certainty.”

Foreign bodies have often appeared in products and especially in food.
For example, a recall was launched in 2023 after small pieces of metal were found in vegan spinach schnitzels.
Consumption could have led to injuries to the mouth and throat, among other things.
The product was sold at Rewe, Marktkauf and Globus.
Rewe starts Lyoner recall due to plastic splinters: return possible without receipt
But now it is Rewe itself that is recalling the Lyoner sausage on offer.
The company in Dortmund apologizes to consumers for the “inconvenience caused”.
Although this is only a “precautionary measure”, products with a different best-before date are not affected by the recall.
Foreign bodies in food?
These are the most common causes of recalls
According to the Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL), microbiological contamination, such as bacteria such as salmonella, is the most common reason for warnings.
Meat and sausage products in particular, but also dairy products, are affected by this.
The second most common reason for recalls is foreign objects such as metal or plastic splinters.
In the latter case, there is an express warning against serious injuries to the mouth and throat as well as internal bleeding or injuries.
Consumers who own one of the affected products containing foreign bodies should under no circumstances consume it and should instead return it to the relevant market.
The message noted that customers can return the Lyoner sausage to the respective Rewe store.
The purchase price will be refunded even without presenting a receipt.
