Lidl recalls hemp products: possible health consequences if they are consumed
A warning is given before consuming the goods - they could have undesirable health consequences, for example tiredness or mood swings.

The goods were therefore sold throughout Germany.
Pastries, tea, a protein bar and oil are affected by the recall.
The following products from the Czech manufacturer Euphoria Trade sro are affected by the recall regardless of their best before date:
Mary & Juana Premium Cannabis Cookies (Chocolate, Classic, Cranberry, Hash)

In addition, consumers were asked to return Vita D'or Bio hemp oil, cold-pressed 250 ml, from the manufacturer P. Brändle GmbH.
According to the announcement, Solevita Hemp Tea, 0.75 liters with the best before dates 07/12/2022 and 07/13/2022 from the manufacturer Hermann PF Getränke GmbH is also affected by the recall.
Lidl took products out of sales early on
As a precautionary measure, the discounter Lidl took all hemp products in its promotional range out of sale in mid-August because some of them are currently being scrutinized by the authorities.
According to the investigators, it is a possible violation of the Narcotics Act.
A spokesman for the Heilbronn public prosecutor said it was being investigated "whether the products that are offered there contain THC or CBD".
However, it is only a test process, not an investigative process.
According to a spokeswoman for the authority on Wednesday, there was initially no result.
According to the Federal Office for Consumer Protection, approval is required for products with cannabidiol (CBD).
The trade in articles with a higher content of intoxicating THC is prohibited in Germany.
