Urgent recall from Penny: Hazelnuts with chocolate could be in the product
Penny
initiated the recall
for the product with the name “

hazelnuts with a chocolate coating

to
hazelnuts will
also
resort to the product.
However, only the batch with the best before date 8/11/2021 is affected.
Customers should therefore check the packaging of the Ruby Pearls carefully.

Recall from Penny: if consumed there is a risk of death
The consumption of
Ruby Peals with hazelnuts is
safe
for customers without food allergies
.
For people with a hazelnut allergy, however, consumption can be very dangerous.
The consumer portal produktwarnung.eu warns that food allergies can cause very different reactions.
In some
allergy sufferers
, contact with
hazelnuts
causes the
mucous membranes in the mouth and nose to swell.
Gastrointestinal complaints can also occur.
The German Allergy and Asthma Association warns that very sensitive people and especially children can also experience severe anaphylactic shock.
Then the circulation can also be affected and those affected can lose consciousness.
Aldente GmbH, which brought the product on the market in Germany, apologizes in the press release for the inconvenience.
If customers have any questions, they can contact a telephone hotline on (02921) 96 986 42.
