Attention, snack recall: Danger from mustard in wasabi peanuts!

A recent snack recall is generating attention and concern among consumers. Warnings have already been issued in several federal states that a popular Asian snack may contain potentially harmful ingredients that are not listed on the packaging.

The Federal Office has strongly recommended not to consume the Asian snack “Wasabi Peanut” from the company Menken Orlando. The reasons for the warning are serious, as the snack could contain the allergen mustard without being correctly identified on the label. Consuming it can cause serious health problems, especially for people with an allergy to mustard.

Health risks and symptoms

Allergic reactions can take many forms. The most common symptoms include itching, swelling of the mucous membranes, diarrhea and nausea. These reactions can range from mild discomfort to acute allergic shock, which in the worst case can be life-threatening. It is therefore crucial for allergy sufferers to immediately remove the affected product from their household.

The product in question is available in various federal states, including Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, North Rhine-Westphalia and many others. In addition to the origin of the product, the best-before date is also important, which in this case is until March 23, 2025, and the batch number, which is 24254.

Return options and consumer rights

Consumers who still have the snack at home are strongly advised not to consume it. The Menken Orlando company has made it clear that customers can return the snack at any Norma branch, even without a receipt. The purchase price will be 100% refunded. This is an important step to accommodate consumers and minimize health risks.

The consumer advice center also points out that customers always have the right to flawless products. If there are problems with a food product, consumers should contact the retailer directly. It is a supportive measure to ensure that only safe food is put on the table.
