Almere - The Dutch company
A-ware Packaging BV is
recalling a popular product.
A
Gouda cheese
, the exact product name is "Milbona Gouda grated young, matured for at least 4 weeks, 250g", may be
contaminated
with blue
plastic
foreign bodies
, the company said.
The affected product was sold at
Lidl Germany
in Schleswig-Holstein.
Since the foreign bodies
could cause
injuries
, customers
should heed
the
recall
and never consume the product.
Plastic foreign objects
can cause serious damage to the mouth and throat, as well as internal injuries or
bleeding
.

- Product Warning (@ Product Warning1) September 7, 2020
Only the packs from the
production period
between 11:57 a.m. and 2:02 p.m. are affected by the recall.
Lidl Germany has taken the affected product out of sale.
The
purchase price
will be reimbursed even without presenting the receipt.
Other products from the manufacturer are not affected by the recall.
Recall: There are many reasons for dangerous contamination
Components that do not belong there repeatedly find their way into the production chain and thus also into the product.
This then leads to a callback * more and more frequently.
Sometimes it is
bacteria
or
viruses
, as recently when noroviruses were found in a frozen product.
Often there are also
residues
from
plastic
,
glass
or
wood
.
Here, too, there are some examples in the recent past: For example, an Ovaltine chocolate was contaminated with pieces of plastic.
Often it is also
random
tests that reveal contamination; this organic tea variety is a good example of this.
In the case of
foreign objects
, be they metallic, made of glass, wood or plastic, a
recall
is usually issued quickly
.
Such undesired product components can in part cause serious injuries.
The
mouth and throat area
and the
organs of
the
digestive tract
are
particularly
at risk.
Consumers should
react quickly
to a
recall
and stop using these products.
A cheese product from Bavaria is not dangerous, but it may be misleading in its application - it won the “Golden Windbag”.

Meanwhile, the first case of African swine fever has been confirmed in Germany.
A model of leather gloves also had to be withdrawn from circulation.
