Overview
- Authorities posted the recall Tuesday on Germany’s official food‑warning portal after Rossmann’s internal checks showed Aflatoxin B1 above the legal maximum.
- The recall covers enerBiO Mais Waffeln Salted Caramel, 50 g, EAN 4068134162755, with best‑before dates 10.02.2027, 12.02.2027, 16.02.2027 and 18.02.2027, printed under the barcode.
- Customers should not eat the snack, should keep it away from children, and can return it in any Rossmann store for a full refund with no receipt; the hotline is 0800 76 77 62 66, Monday to Saturday, 8:00 to 20:00.
- Rossmann removed the product from sale nationwide, authorities list distribution across all 16 federal states, and LAVES reports acute human poisonings are rare with no widespread cases noted.
- Aflatoxins are fungal toxins that can form on maize, nuts or dried fruit in warm, humid storage, and scientists warn they may appear more often in Europe as the climate warms.
