Fruit Recall: Mycotoxins - Dangerous mold toxins found in figs

The Lower Saxony State Office for Consumer Protection and Food Protection describes mycotoxins as toxic metabolic products that are formed by mold.

"Due to their toxicity (poisonousness) for humans and animals, mycotoxins are among the undesirable contaminants in food and feed."

Depending on the type of toxins and the amount absorbed, the effect of the mycotoxins could be acutely and / or chronically toxic due to "carcinogenic, mutagenic, immunosuppressive, teratogenic, nephrotoxic and estrogenic properties." This could lead to different diseases in humans.

Among other things, they can promote the development of cancer, damage the kidneys and liver, impair the immune system or cause diarrhea and vomiting.

Recall of dried figs: Product can be returned to shops

According to Ciloglu Handels GmbH, the product can be returned in the relevant shops - with or without a receipt - for a refund of the purchase price. 

The manufacturer writes: “We ask for your understanding for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.

If you have any questions or requests, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time. ”The Rossmann drugstore chain recently launched an urgent recall.
