product
recalls
*.

.

Recall: organic crackers are potentially carcinogenic
As
Produktwarucken.eu
reports, the product was recalled because it
may contain
residues of the
pesticide
ethylene oxide
.
This chemical has
been banned in the food
sector in
Germany
since 1981 * and is potentially
hazardous to health
.
Ethylene oxide is
carcinogenic
and can cause
headaches
,
dizziness
and
nausea
.
In the event of contact with high doses,
cramps
, twitching and
coma
can occur.
Animal experiments have even shown that it
triggers
mutations
and
miscarriages
.
The chemical
ethylene oxide
is actually a
highly flammable gas
that can form explosive mixtures with the air.
That is why it is also used in the construction of
bombs
.
However, the gas can also be used as a
pesticide
as it kills bacteria, fungi and viruses.
More and more often, products are being recalled on suspicion of the chemical ethylene oxide.
This is especially true for products that
contain
sesame seeds
.
The reason is obvious:
India
and
Sudan
are the largest sesame producers.
The use of the chemical
ethylene oxide is
permitted
in both countries
.
In this way, the chemical can also find its way into German products.
Sesame products are frequently affected by recalls due to the prohibited chemical ethylene oxide
Only recently were
sesame bars recalled from
the
discounter “Action”
.
Also
Lidl
had to recall one cereal on suspicion of an ethylene oxide pollution.
Similar reasons usually arise for callbacks *.
