In Germany, information about allergens on the packaging of food products is mandatory. If absent or if the manufacturer has made an error, the product must be recalled to protect consumer rights.

This is because some ingredients can trigger allergic reactions. Possible symptoms include:

  • Swelling of the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, and throat;
  • Gastrointestinal complaints such as diarrhea, flatulence, or vomiting.
  • Other external symptoms may include skin rash and itching.

In the worst case, anaphylactic shock may occur, leading to the failure of the cardiovascular system and, consequently, a fatal outcome. Therefore, this recall should be taken very seriously. If this product has been purchased and there is a cashew allergy, it is advisable to refrain from consuming it.

The affected product can be returned with a refund of the purchase price.

Buyers can request a refund at the respective points of sale or through the KoRo online store.

Due to the error in the manufacturing process, the urgently recalled product is the 'Bio NUT BUTTER CUPS salted Pistachio' chocolate snack with a pink cream filling. Consumers with a cashew allergy should avoid consuming this product, as it could lead to serious health consequences such as anaphylactic shock. Therefore, it's crucial to take this recall notice seriously and either return the product for a refund at the dm store or through the KoRo online store.
