Bremen -

Plastic

always finds its way into our

food

.

According to the consumer

advice center, there is

often a

risk of

harmful plastic substances

such as plasticizers, BPA, adhesives or

microplastics

migrating

from the food itself. Manufacturers must therefore

adhere

to special

guidelines

.

However, due to production errors, larger pieces of plastic also regularly end up in food products.

They can pose an

immediate health risk

.

The

German Milchkontor GmbH

is Germany's largest

dairy cooperative

, and one of the main suppliers of the German food retail sector.

In her latest recall *, she warns of

plastic

in a popular

Real

product.

“For reasons of preventive

consumer protection”

, the

DMK

warns

against consuming a type of semi-hard cheese as a precaution.

"In individual

 cases,

the affected batch may contain 

small hard plastic particles

in the product which, if consumed, can pose a health risk."

Pollution Recall: Regular warnings and stricter guidelines

Food recalls

* are not uncommon in Germany.

Foreign bodies in food

are the most common complaints.

For example, a hard cheese from Aldi was recently recalled because of plastic parts.

There are more drastic consequences

with a Rewe product: poisoning can occur here.

The caraway cheese at Real is therefore in good company.

If contamination and health hazards are identified, the local

food control

facility reports 

 the relevant product to the

competent

 state authority

.

Checked recall messages can be found on the portal Lebensmittelwarnung.de.

Here, consumers can keep up to date on recalls.
