Product recall - Smoothie recalled

The company True Fruits has recalled its "Winter Edition - Cinnamon Star" smoothie because the allergen gluten has not been sufficiently labeled. Affected are 250-milliliter bottles with a best-before date of 2 February 2024, as the company announced on the "lebensmittelwarnung.de" portal on Wednesday. The EAN number of the products is 4260122393244.

The smoothie contains one percent of the gluten-containing ingredient "malt extract", which has not been properly declared as an allergen. People with gluten intolerance are therefore advised not to consume it. The affected products were sold nationwide at Kaufland, Rewe, Globus, aktiv & irma, tegut, Famila, Netto, Citti and Bünting.
