Be careful, an unusual recall has been issued. Sharp glass foreign objects can be found in tomatoes from Rewe and Penny – there is a risk of injury.

Especially before public holidays, people tend to prefer to buy a little more – and to amass a small but fine supply. However, this should now be checked carefully. The Federal Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety has published a major recall. It concerns all batches of snack tomatoes that have been sold in several supermarkets.

The tomatoes can cause injury

The dried tomatoes are said to have been sold in branches of Rewe and Penny. The products have already been taken off the market, but those who already have them in the house should no longer eat them. In the press release of the company K. Iraklidis & Söhne AG, the consumption of the snack tomatoes is strongly advised against.

There is a risk of injury as there may be “small, pointed, transparent foreign objects” in individual packages. This means that a health hazard cannot be ruled out. Even if the broken glass cannot be seen with the naked eye, the tomatoes should not be eaten to be on the safe side.

Those who have already bought the products can return them to the relevant branch. There, customers should be reimbursed the purchase price even without presenting the receipt. For further questions, the company K. Iraklidis & Söhne AG has published an email address ([email protected]), which customers can contact.
