The stomach hurts, the skin itches - and in an emergency you can't breathe.

A wholesaler is now recalling its fruit jelly, as consuming it could have dire consequences.

  • Sulfur dioxide and sulfites are

    not dangerous to most people.

    However, if you have an allergic reaction to it, you atone for eating it bitterly.

  • A

    German wholesaler

    only poorly labeled the packaging of its popular sweet.

  • Now he reacts to the mistake and calls back his

    fruit jelly

    .

Herrenberg - Whether chocolate, cookies or gummy bears -

sweets

are popular with young and old.

But now a particularly

fruit jelly is

affected

by a Germany-wide

recall campaign *

.

The confectionery is badly labeled * so that some consumers could suffer serious damage from their consumption.

As the portal

produktwarnung.de announced

on Thursday, the packaging of the affected products did not state that

it could contain

allergens

, the dealer

Monolith Süd GmbH is

now

As a “precaution”, the company from

Herrenberg

advises

against consuming the product, as it could

trigger allergic reactions

in people with

sulfite intolerance

.

Sulfur dioxide

and the resulting

sulfite salts

are quite common in foods for preservation purposes and are

approved as additives

for numerous products, such as

wines

and

fruit gums

.

Most people tolerate the

allergen

well - but time and again some develop more serious, allergic reactions.

Recall: Sulphites can cause breathing difficulties, diarrhea and eczema

The extent of this can vary greatly from person to person: For example, the

mucous membranes in the entire mouth, nose and throat

as well as the

tongue can

swell and, in an emergency, impair breathing and

narrow the bronchi

.

An allergic reaction to sulfite can on the other hand by symptoms in

intestinal area gastrointestinal

express and

nausea, vomiting

and

diarrhea

cause.

Also,

itching, hives

and

eczema

can have an allergy consequence.

In the worst case scenario, it could also trigger life-threatening anaphylactic shock.
