Due to possible health risks for people with nut allergies, a bread recall campaign was launched at Rewe. There is no reference to the allergens contained in the list of ingredients.
The Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL) is currently informing about a recall for the product “REWE Bio Das Pure 300g” due to a missing allergen label. The product contains carrots and walnuts, which are not listed in the list of ingredients.

There is no information on the packaging about the walnuts it contains and a health risk for people who suffer from a walnut allergy or walnut intolerance cannot be completely ruled out if consumed.
Since some of those affected develop severe allergic symptoms after ingesting even the smallest amounts, nuts in this country are generally required to be labeled. Possible consequences for those affected if consumed include rash, itching, swelling in the mouth and face, difficulty breathing, nausea and vomiting.
In the worst case, there is a risk of anaphylactic shock, with nuts being one of the most common triggers for such emergencies. The first allergic symptoms usually appear shortly after eating the nuts.
According to the manufacturer, in order to avoid risks for people with walnut allergies, the affected product was immediately withdrawn from sale and anyone who had already purchased the bread could return it to the respective market. The purchase price will be refunded even without presentation of the receipt. (fp)
