The sizes 180 g and 90 g are affected. The reason for this recall campaign is the possible risk of contamination from small stones that could be included in the products. Although the company estimates the likelihood of such contamination as low, it is a precautionary measure.

Responsible work closely with retailers and food authorities in order to remove the affected plates from the shelves as quickly as possible.
