Attention, allergy sufferers: peanuts discovered in hazelnut cream!
The Akar Austria GmbH has started a callback for the hazelnut cream "Gourmet Celebi" (300 g), since non -declared peanuts were detected in the cream. This warning is particularly aimed at people with peanut allergies who could be at risk from the consumption of the affected product. The affected minimum preservation date is May 8, 2026, such as 5min.at
Akar Austria asks all dealers to immediately take the batch affected out of sale. Consumers should no longer consume the hazelnut cream and contact the company's distribution directly with further concerns. Akar Austria apologized for the inconvenience and emphasizes the importance of food safety.
health risk from unexpected allergens
The recall was initiated due to the detection of peanut traces that are not marked accordingly. Already very small amounts of peanuts can cause serious reactions with allergy sufferers, which significantly increases the risk for this group of people, as in a report by today.at is highlighted.
In Europe, food manufacturers are obliged to mark the 14 most common allergens, including peanuts, on their products, according to the food information regulation (EU) 1169/2011). Nevertheless, there is no legal regulation for unintentional entries from allergens in food, which is discussed in the debate about food allergies. Many manufacturers indicate voluntary “traces of traces”, but these do not allow the actual amount of allergen in the product, informs the BFR.
importance of allergen labeling
In view of the potential health risks that can result from the unexpected consumption of allergens, clear markings are essential. The latent danger for allergy sufferers through unintentional entries in food represents a serious challenge. In the industry, it is agreed that it is necessary to discuss thresholds for the identification of unintentional allergens in order to better protect consumers. In summary, the current recall campaign is an important reminder for both consumers and manufacturers to take strict guidelines on food safety and allergen labeling seriously. The health of people with food allergies must never be endangered.| Details | |
