Overview

  • The recall covers HEMA Butter-Käse-Stangen with best-before date 30.05.2026 and article number 10.66.1424, which have been withdrawn from HEMA stores.
  • The affected packs contain a butter-cheese salted pastry with sesame instead of the advertised sticks, and peanuts may also be present.
  • HEMA urges consumers with sesame or peanut allergies not to consume the product and offers refunds in stores without a receipt.
  • lebensmittelwarnung.de lists affected states as Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Berlin, Hesse, Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia.
  • EU rules require clear allergen labeling, and the BfR notes that even trace amounts can cause severe reactions including anaphylaxis.
