Overview
- The recall was announced on Friday and was initiated by Heidemark Landfrische after the company found a risk that sharp plastic fragments could be present in one production batch of pan‑fried turkey schnitzel.
- The affected product is Meine Metzgerei Frische Putenschnitzel “Wiener Art” Cornflakes in 800 g packs with Verbrauchsdatum 28.09.2026, charge number beginning 062640 and approval mark DE NI 12555 EU.
- Heidemark warns that swallowed plastic fragments could cause injury and urges consumers not to eat the product and to seek medical attention if they or someone else is hurt.
- Aldi Nord has removed the identified lot from sale and customers can return the packs to stores for a full refund without a receipt; Heidemark provides customer service at kommunikation@heidemark.de for questions.
- The recall covers large parts of Aldi Nord’s northern, eastern and western distribution area and does not appear to affect Bavaria, Baden‑Württemberg, Rheinland‑Pfalz or Saarland, underscoring how traceable lot markings let retailers target removals while food‑safety alerts remain common in Germany.
