A seemingly harmless snack can have health consequences - especially for children.
The Federal Office of Consumer Protection provides information about the recall.
Kassel – Snack products in particular have recently been affected by food warnings.
Whether trendy chips from the “Hot Chip Challenge” that pose a health risk or flips that can trigger allergic reactions.
The next recall is now coming: The Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety is informing about a missing label on a type of chips.
Recall due to health risk for children: Warning about spicy chips
We strongly advise against eating the “Takis Fuego Tortilla Chips”, which are produced by the company KKB Sweet & More in Schwarzenbek.
They were sold at Edeka and Rewe, among others.
The consumer portal lebensmittelwarning.de also provides information about this.
The snack therefore contains the azo dyes E 110 and E 129, which are not directly visible on the packaging.
The following product is affected:
Product name: |
Takis Fuego Tortilla Chips |
Manufacturer: |
KKB Sweet & More |
Packaging Unit: |
28.4g |
Batches: |
Affects all batches “Made in Mexico” |
Reason for warning: |
Missing warning for azo dyes E 110 and E 129 |
Azo dyes are used to color food.
E 110 produces a yellow-orange color, E 129 a red color.
Both dyes are permitted as additives in food.
However, the important warning is missing on the chips: “May impair activity and attention in children.” In addition, allergens are not highlighted in the list of ingredients and the labeling is only in English.
The Federal Office of Consumer Protection warns that questionable azo dyes in the chips can impair activity and attention in children.

Azo dyes can be so dangerous
Azo dyes are also suspected of being carcinogenic and causing pseudo-allergic symptoms on the skin and respiratory tract.
Anyone who has purchased the “Takis Fuego Tortilla Chips” should not pass them on to children.
They are also considered worrying for people with illnesses such as asthma or neurodermatitis.
Consumers should return the affected tortilla chips to the points of sale, citing the warning.
