Overview

  • Neuhaus NV voluntarily withdrew 120g bags of Belgian Chocolate Moments Smurfs sold between June 16 and August 4 in seven federal states after discovering wheat was not declared on the label.
  • The recall covers products with best‐before dates from December 2025 through February 2026 and specific lot numbers identified by the company and regulators.
  • Consumers with wheat allergies or gluten intolerance are urged to return the pralines to their point of purchase for a full refund, with or without a receipt.
  • The Bundesamt für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit issued warnings on lebensmittelwarnung.de and confirmed that non-allergic customers can continue to consume unaffected stock.
  • This action follows earlier summer recalls of maize snacks for undeclared milk powder and chocolates for elevated aflatoxin levels under Germany’s strict allergen and toxin regulations.
