Schne‑frost Recalls Snackmaster Rösti‑Fries Over Possible Plastic Contamination

The company has asked customers to stop eating affected packs and return them to Netto for a refund as safety checks proceed.

Overview

  • Schne‑frost Ernst Schnetkamp GmbH & Co. KG has issued a manufacturer recall after finding a risk that plastic foreign bodies may be present in some Snackmaster Rösti‑Fries packages.
  • The recall covers 450 g packs with lot number L 6239, EAN 4006934778578 and a best‑before date of February 2028, and consumers should check the back of the packaging for these identifiers.
  • Netto Marken‑Discount sold the affected batch in parts of Baden‑Württemberg, Bavaria, Hesse, North Rhine‑Westphalia, Rhineland‑Palatinate and Saarland and will refund returned packs even without a receipt.
  • Health guidance warns that swallowed or chewed plastic pieces can cause cuts to the mouth or throat and in rare cases internal injury, which is why the manufacturer advises not to prepare or eat the product.
  • The recall is presented as a precautionary, traceable withdrawal under standard German food‑safety practice, a process that officials and surveys say helps keep consumers safe and maintains trust in controls.
