​Why are the products being recalled:

​An excessively high content of the fungus toxin aflatoxin B1 has been found in the products. A health risk cannot therefore be ruled out if you eat the products. The decisive thing is that you do not have too high an intake of aflatoxin over a long period of time. So it is not the individual meal that is decisive, but rather intake over a longer period of time. Therefore, you will not experience acute symptoms if you have eaten the products.
