Recall: traces of peanuts in almond chocolate bars

As the Tripoint GmbH informs, three batches of the protein bar “Protein Layer White Chocolate Salty Almond” of the Multipower brand have to be recalled.

Especially allergy sufferers should definitely not eat the chocolate bar.

Because, as the company reports, residues of peanuts were found in the batches concerned.

However, allergy sufferers will not find any indication of traces of peanuts on the packaging (more recalls and warnings * at RUHR24).

Therefore, according to

produktwarnung.eu, there is an

urgent warning against consuming the bar: Allergy sufferers, especially those with a known peanut allergy or intolerance, should not eat the following product:

The risk for allergy sufferers is great.

The reactions to food or its components vary greatly.

In particularly sensitive people, even traces of peanuts are enough to trigger an allergic reaction.

Chocolate Bar Recall: Allergic reactions can be life threatening

In the case of violent reactions, a (peanut) nut allergy in particular can, in the worst case, lead to life-threatening anaphylactic shock.

A narrowing of the bronchi and the associated shortness of breath (risk of allergic asthma *) or skin reactions (atopic eczema, itching and hives) can

also

occur

, according to

produktwarnung.eu

.

Less strong, but also very unpleasant to threatening reactions are expressed in the form of swelling of the mucous membrane, which can affect the entire mouth, nose (allergic rhinitis) and throat.

Swelling of the tongue is also possible.

Symptoms that affect the gastrointestinal tract include nausea, vomiting, gas, and diarrhea.

Chocolate bars on call: Products will be refunded

As always, customers who have bought one of the above packs of the chocolate bar can either return the pack to the store where it was bought - they will then be refunded the retail price.

Or the pack can be returned to Genuport Trade GmbH, Gutenbergring 60, Qualität, 22848 Norderstedt.

The sales company that sells the Tripoint bars then sends the affected customers a replacement product.

According to the manufacturer, other multipower products can still be safely consumed.
