Overview
- Federal authorities have issued an active warning for Mr. Fungh 300 g kimchi jars from batch 20052026 with best-before date 20 October 2026 after the manufacturer said the jars may contain plastic fragments.
- The distributor Fung's Handels GmbH and the Bundesamt für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit (BVL) asked retailers to check and remove the affected stock and to report findings to authorities.
- According to official notices, the recalled batch appears to have been sold only in Hamburg and Schleswig‑Holstein, so consumers in those states should inspect cupboards before eating the product.
- Officials say plastic pieces can injure the mouth or throat, cause internal damage if swallowed, or lead to choking if they enter the airway and they advise following first‑aid guidance or calling emergency services for airway incidents.
- Consumers can return the jars to the place of purchase for a refund, often without a receipt, and the BVL posted the recall on lebensmittelwarnung.de, the government portal for food‑safety alerts.
