The popular snack manufacturer Lorenz is recalling certain crisps and peanut products.
The products accidentally receive an allergen that is not labeled on the packaging.
Various snack products are currently affected by a recall.
The packaging of the crisps and peanuts does not fulfill its obligation to label food.
This can be dangerous for allergy sufferers.
Neu-Isenburg - The
labeling of allergens
on food packaging is
mandatory
in Germany
.
"Ingredients that can trigger allergic or other intolerance reactions" must be specified, as can
be read
on the website of the
Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture

There is also a list of the 14 most common
triggers of allergies and intolerances
.
These include, for example, peanuts, nuts or eggs (and products made from them).
If food labeling is inadequate, this can be
life-threatening
for allergy sufferers.
