Overview

• The 110 g ‘Süße Maisstäbchen’ were pulled after tests found undeclared milk powder that endangers consumers with milk allergies or intolerances.
• The recall notice was issued via lebensmittelwarnung.de by the Federal Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety under Germany’s LMKV allergen-labeling rules.
• At least 13 federal states, including Bayern, Berlin, Hamburg and Nordrhein-Westfalen, sold the affected batches exclusively distributed by Monolith Nord GmbH.
• Consumers can return the products at their point of purchase and contact a free company hotline for information on refunds and safety advice.
• Monolith Nord has apologized for the oversight, launched a review of its internal quality controls and urged buyers not to consume any remaining packs.
