The supermarket chain Edeka has called back to the public.
The reason: sold organic baby food can endanger the health of babies.
Edeka is recalling the product "EDEKA organic blueberry in pear after the 4th month" in a 190 gram jar.
Only goods with a best before date of 28.07.2022 are affected by the recall.
The baby food was sold nationwide.
Hamburg - The retail giant
Edeka is
causing a
stir
with a
high-profile recall
: sold organic porridge of the own brand
"EDEKA organic blueberry in pear after the 4th month"
may
contain
glass splinters
.
Depending on their size and condition, the dangerous splinters can cause cuts and injuries to the esophagus and internal organs *.
Swallowing
causes shortness of breath and the risk of suffocation
.
The risk is therefore particularly high with small children.
The affected are the 190mm glasses with the best before date 07/28/2022.
Feeding is not recommended to customers who bought the product.
The supermarket chain justified the recall with "
preventive consumer protection
", which cannot be guaranteed by the products sold.
Edeka announced that no other products of the "EDEKA Bio" brand would be affected by the recall campaign.
In addition, batches with a best-before date other than 07/28/2022 are harmless.
The product was "mainly" offered by
Edeka and Marktkauf
.

Edeka: Reimbursement of the purchase price even without a receipt
In the notification from Thursday (07.01.2021) Edeka also confirmed that the
purchase price will be
refunded
even without a receipt.
Customers who bought the affected product can
return it
to their
stores
for a refund of the purchase price
.
Despite the quick and transparent response from Edeka, the product went into circulation.
The company assured, however, that "the trading companies concerned responded immediately (...) and immediately removed the relevant goods from sale".
Edeka did not provide any information about how the glass splinters got into the baby food.
Edeka recall: This is what customers need to be aware of
When a company
recalls
a
defective product, it
removes it from sale to prevent further spread of the defective product.
Figurehead
in-store and
public messages
offer the opportunity to draw attention to the recalled product for the company.
Affected customers can, as a rule,
return
the defective product to the store
.
The purchase price will be refunded.
