A food supplier recalls its baked goods due to metal parts.
Discount giant Aldi denies that it offered the product.
Munich – What’s the beautiful word?
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Although this saying has now proven to be untrue, a sumptuous meal to start the day is still part of the routine of many Germans.
While some prefer something savory, others like sweet things like croissants.
However, consumers should be careful when purchasing, as the popular baked product is affected by a nationwide recall.
Nationwide recall of croissants due to foreign matter: Which markets are affected?
Specifically, these are “Original French Butter Croissants” from wholesaler and food supplier Aldente.
Contrary to the last nationwide recalls - vegan minced meat from Rügenwalder Mühle due to salmonella and a vegetable product from Edeka due to listeria - the product does not contain any dangerous, health-endangering bacteria, but rather metal foreign bodies.
In the worst case scenario, these can cause internal bleeding.
Be careful, foreign bodies
Metallic foreign bodies, broken glass or splinters of glass, wood and plastic can cause serious injuries to the mouth and throat as well as internal injuries or bleeding.
Consumers who own one of the affected products should
no
longer use it and return it to the relevant market.
“For reasons of preventative consumer protection,” Aldente immediately took action and removed the affected product from its range, according to the Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL) on the
lebensmittelverkauf.de
portal .
It is not clear from the message whose range is meant.
What is certain is that the butter croissants were available in all federal states except Bremen and Hamburg.

According to several media reports, Aldi offered the product.
When asked by
IPPEN.MEDIA,
the retail chain denied the accusation: “Aldi is not affected by the recall of Aldente croissants throughout Germany,” emphasized an Aldi Süd spokeswoman.
According to
Ruhr Nachrichten,
Aldente himself did not want to comment on which supermarkets or discounters offered the “original French butter croissants”.
Aldente starts nationwide recall of croissants: foreign bodies are not uncommon
In fact, foreign bodies in the form of metal, glass and plastic splinters often occur in food.
According to the BVL report, they are the second most common reason for a recall.
Recently, a sausage was recalled after plastic parts were found in it.
While foods contaminated with Listeria primarily cause headaches or vomiting, in this case there is a risk of injuries to the mouth and throat or internal bleeding.

Aldente recommends “stopping eating the croissants as a precaution.”
At the same time, it is emphasized that only products with the corresponding best-before date are affected.
In this case, the popular baked goods should be returned to the respective point of sale.
There, customers receive a refund of the purchase price even without presenting a receipt.
The wholesaler apologizes for the “inconvenience caused.”
