Overview
- BLG Kardesler GmbH recalled 400 g packs of Suntat Weinblätter (Lot LS2602/25, best-before February 2027) after tests detected elevated pesticide residues
- The July 24 recall was triggered by fresh contamination findings that update an initial June 13 alert for the same product
- Sales in Baden-Württemberg, Bayern, Hamburg, Hessen, Niedersachsen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Saarland and Thüringen are affected by the recall
- Health advisories warn that ingesting the leaves can cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness and breathing problems with children, pregnant women and immunocompromised people at highest risk
- This second recall of Suntat Weinblätter this summer has drawn criticism over poor consumer notification, with regulators still not disclosing the contaminant
