​Why is the food recalled:

​​​​​​An excessively high content of the fungal toxin aflatoxin B1 has been found in the product. A health risk cannot therefore be ruled out if you eat the product. It is important not to 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 product.
