Overview
- Orient Master GmbH and Go Asia GmbH initiated the recall after a food-inspection flagged the jelly’s cut- and bite-resistant consistency as a choking hazard.
- The action applies to COZZO Jelly Sticks distributed across Germany except in Thuringia, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
- Larger pieces or whole sticks may block airways because the gel cannot be crushed with the tongue, according to the warning.
- Children are highlighted as particularly vulnerable due to the product’s size and shape.
- The companies apologized and shared inquiry contacts, while some reports allege the presence of additives not permitted in gel confectionery, a point not yet widely confirmed.
