Overview
- This week Rossmann first recalled enerBiO Mais Waffeln Salted Caramel after lab tests showed aflatoxin B1 above the legal limit and then added enerBiO Dinkel Waffeln Natur when tests found ochratoxin A above permitted levels.
- The spelt wafers recalled carry GTIN 4305615676876 and best‑before date 18.01.2027 while the maize wafers include multiple best‑before dates listed in the company notice, with both products sold across all 16 German states.
- Health authorities classify aflatoxin B1 as genotoxic and carcinogenic and describe ochratoxin A as nephrotoxic with a possible cancer link, raising concern about accumulation after repeated exposure.
- Rossmann and the official portal lebensmittelwarnung.de advise consumers to stop consuming the packs, keep them away from children, return them to stores for a refund and seek medical advice if they were eaten.
- The recalls highlight supply‑chain and testing vulnerabilities for grain snacks and could prompt tighter monitoring and revised maximum limits as regulators reassess mycotoxin risks in cereals.
