Oatmeal, nuts & Co .: As muesli, they let us start the day full of energy.
A German manufacturer has now discovered impurities in its “children's muesli” that could be dangerous.
Muesli is an absolute
breakfast classic
- even children can quickly get excited about it.
“Milupa”
even offers
muesli varieties
especially for
small children
.
However, the
baby and toddler food manufacturer
now has to recall
some of them
*.
Frankfurt am Main -
Muesli
is known to be the ideal breakfast when it comes
to supplying
the body with the right
energy boosters
quickly and for the whole day
.
Oatmeal, nuts & Co.
are not only real vitamin bombs, they also keep you full for a long time.

milk, yoghurt or fruit

“For
small children
who want to eat almost like the
grown-
ups
”
, the German company
“Milupa”
even
produces
“Children's Muesli”
for one to three year olds.
At first glance,
muesli
may
seem like
muesli
, but the manufacturer pays particular attention to the fact that these breakfast products are suitable for children.
“Milupa”
writes
about his
children's muesli
: “Our grains are ground as finely as your
baby
needs them at his age.
By the time the
porridge
lands on your child's spoon, it goes through
650 quality
controls from the field to processing
.
"
"Milupa" recalls children's muesli - several types are affected
Apparently, one of these controls * has now delivered such alarming results that
"Milupa"
reacted immediately.
As a “precaution”, the company is calling back its
muesli varieties “Fruits”, “Bircher”
and
“Porridge Oats & Fruits”
immediately.
While their ingredients are usually ground extra small, these
types of cereal
may
contain something that can be particularly
dangerous
for
young children
:
apple stalks
.
Because as the company now announced, a whole batch of dried
apple pieces from
a supplier
was apparently
contaminated with it.

If there are really apple stalks in
the children's
breakfast
porridge
, they can injure themselves not only in the mouth.
If the little ones try to swallow them, they could also get into the
airways
and become wedged there.
In the worst case, the children will suffocate on them.
The
muesli varieties
that
"Milupa" is
now calling back all contain
apples
- and could therefore be contaminated with the woody remains.
From September 11, 2020, they were sold nationwide in drugstores and in food retailers.
