  • The Selen-Form & Purifying Kräutertee Mischung with a minimum shelf life of 06/2027 and batch number LOT:04/24 in 40 g or 20-bag packs is subject to the ongoing recall.
  • Tests detected Danthron, a substance on the EU’s banned additives list that studies by the National Library of Medicine link to tumor formation in animal trials.
  • Authorities expanded the recall from Nordrhein-Westfalen and Rheinland-Pfalz to the entire country after confirming the affected batches were distributed nationwide.
