Caution, risk of suffocation: In this Edeka biscuit, dangerous pieces of wire have mixed with the hazelnuts.
These 8 products are affected.
The
supermarket chain Edeka is
recalling
various
baked goods
in
southwest Germany
.
The reason is a mistake by the
hazelnut supplier to
the
K&U
bakery
chain
.
The
eight products
affected by the recall
are
contaminated
with
pieces of wire
.
Neuchâtel - Well, what's cracking there?
A
hazelnut
supplier is causing worry lines at Edeka branches in southwest Germany and a whole series of food recalls at once.
The product warnings for
cakes and pastries
come from the
K&U bakery group
from Neuchâtel, Baden-Württemberg.
In addition to its own bakery branches and bakery service counters, the
chain
primarily
supplies
the
food
markets
of Edeka, Marktkauf and nah & gut.
Edeka and K & U
call in these markets now all
pastries and Linzer products
with
hazelnuts
back: "Due to an error at the
supplier of hazelnuts
can not be ruled out that isolated
pieces of wire
in the products are." The
K & U Bakery Group
attach great importance to product safety and regret this incident very much, the manufacturer wrote on.
Edeka Südwest announced that the recalled pastries had been sold in parts of
Bavaria
,
Baden-Württemberg
,
Rhineland-Palatinate
,
Saarland
and
southern Hesse
.

Caution: danger of suffocation: Edeka is recalling various baked goods because of hazelnuts
Food contamination can be dangerous.
Even small foreign bodies, such as the
pieces of wire
in the Edeka biscuits, can cause stab wounds
in
the mouth, esophagus
or
stomach
lead
.
If
the
foreign body
is
swallowed, there
is often a
risk of suffocation
.
Food recalls
must therefore be taken seriously.
As a precautionary measure, consumers should avoid consuming the following eight products.
Customers can
return
the
baked goods
in the sales outlets
and get the
price reimbursed even without a receipt.
The following
loose
K&U
baked goods
are
affected
at
Edeka
:
"Linzerschnitte"
"Winding ring"
"Nut wreath"
"Viennese wreath"
"Nut cream cake"
and "Nussi Sand Sponge Cake"
In addition, there is the packaged product
“Made with a heart |
Linzerschnitte 500 g “
with a
best before
date
up to and including
March 21, 2021
.
At the bakery service counters,
the "Linzertorte, 600 g" is
packed with a best-before date up to and including
March 21
,
2021
.
Recall due to metal pieces: Why are there more and more warnings?
Food recalls
are not uncommon in Germany.
Foreign bodies and pieces of metal
are the most common complaints.
The baked goods at Edeka are therefore in good company.
If contamination and a health hazard is identified, the local
food control
facility reports
the relevant product to the
competent
state authority
.
Checked recall messages can be found on the portal Lebensmittelwarnung.de.
Here, consumers can keep up to date on recalls.
