Heidelberg - The

organic company "Govinda"

has recalled one of its products.

This is the

sesame hemp cracker "Backpacker Hemp"

.

These can be read on the side of the packaging.

The crackers affected by the recall should never be eaten.

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 *.
