Kassel – The wave of recalls of vegetarian products due to metallic foreign bodies continues unabated. Most recently, there was the urgent Rewe recall of a vegan substitute product, and there was also a warning against the consumption of certain tofu products due to the risk of injury. Now it's hitting the next veggie food. Consumers are warned against enjoying a vegan vegetable spread. The "spinach walnut spread" should not be consumed under any circumstances, warns manufacturer Alnatura. Tartex and Allos products containing spinach are also affected.

Urgent recall launched: Risk of injury to Alnatura spread

The recall of Alnatura's savoury organic spread is a precautionary measure. There is a possibility that there are metal splinters in the products, warns consumer protection. "It cannot be ruled out that metal contaminants have entered individual jars of the product via the ingredient spinach," informs the manufacturer Alnatura. For this reason, consumers should not consume the spread under any circumstances.
