Overview

• The Hamburg consumer protection authority has initiated a recall and public warning for specific gel confectionery sold in mini cups.
• The affected product is New Choice Geleesüßwaren im Minibecher (tropical fruit) in a 1‑kilogram screw-top container from New Choice Foods.
• The jelly must be squeezed from small cups and can shoot into the mouth, and its slippery, firm texture increases the risk of airway blockage, particularly for children.
• Consumers are urged not to eat the product and to dispose of it or return it to the point of sale, and retailers must inform customers.
• No response from New Choice Foods was reported, and no specific federal states were listed because distribution runs through specialized Asian food retailers.
