Overview
- The Schleswig-Holstein consumer ministry, which issued a nationwide warning Tuesday via the official portal lebensmittelwarnung.de, urged people with egg or pistachio allergies to avoid two products called Zaban papion sweets and Zaban sweets.
- The flagged items are 500-gram packs from Iran with a best-before date of 25.01.2027 and barcodes 7302111588529 and 7302852588587.
- Authorities say the sweets lack required allergen labels for egg and pistachio, which can trigger reactions ranging from stomach distress to life‑threatening anaphylaxis.
- No responsible person is named on the packages, and the pre-supplier Telesto Food & Trading in Norderstedt could not be reached, so the ministry is informing consumers directly as sales routes remain unclear.
- Consumers are advised to return the products to retailers, and the case underscores EU rules that demand clear labeling of 14 major allergens while highlighting traceability gaps in specialty food imports.
