Recall in the cooling shelf at Penny: dangerous small parts were found in this classic snack.
The manufacturer urgently warns against consumption.
Meat salad
is still one of the most popular
ready-made salads
in
Germany
A
popular meat salad
at
Penny
is now
affected
by a
recall
The manufacturer warns against
consumption
because of
dangerous plastic parts
Eat - especially in the
cool season
he keeps for decades bravely at the
snack
-Tisch: the
meat salad
.
So far, even battle scandals and
veganism trends have
not harmed him.
According to
ARD
, the
high-calorie classic was
even the
best-selling deli salad
in
Germany
in
2019
.
This is probably also due to the
low price
: you can get the bestseller in the
refrigerated section
for less than one euro
.
A classic
meat salad
contains a lot of
mayonnaise
and at least 25 percent
meat roast
in strips, with
pickles
as vegetables and optionally fresh herbs.
Plastic
is usually not included.
In a
Penny
product
, however, not only the usual
ingredients were
found, but also transparent
foreign bodies made of plastic
.
Penny
warns
therefore in a press release: “
We
strongly advise against
consuming
the product concerned.
It cannot be ruled out that in individual cases there are
transparent plastic foreign
bodies
in the
product
. ”A
health hazard
cannot be ruled out either.
This is Penny's second product recall this week.

Plastic in food: food recalls are increasing - that's behind it
The
recalled meat salad
is not an isolated case:
food recalls
in
Germany
are increasing.
The Federal Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL)
is responsible for checking and arranging for them in Germany.
The office provides regular information on affected products on its website.
Foreign objects in food
are among the
most common reasons
for
food recalls
.
An iced tea at Edeka and a sausage at Penny have just been recalled for the same reasons.
The Mühlenhof Delikatess Herb Meat Salad is in good company.
However,
caution
is always
advised
with small
plastic parts in food
.
Depending on the nature of the foreign body,
cuts
can occur, or even
shortness of breath
if swallowed
.
Warnings and recalls should therefore be taken seriously.
