Rückruf bei Action: Lay’s-Chips könnten gesundheitsschädlich sein

Overview

  • The recall affects Lay’s Minibeutel 9-pack chips (225 g) with a best-before date of August 23, 2025, sold since May 23 at Action stores in all 16 German states.
  • A production error allowed non-food-grade mineral oils MOSH and MOAH to enter the chips during manufacturing.
  • PepsiCo and the Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung say immediate health risks are low but caution that MOSH can accumulate in organs and MOAH may carry carcinogenic potential.
  • Consumers are urged to stop consuming the affected products and can obtain a full refund at any Action outlet without needing a receipt.
  • All contaminated batches have been withdrawn from sale nationwide while EFSA and the BfR continue to review safety data on mineral oil residues.
