SPAR continuously controls the products of the SPAR brands to ensure the highest quality – not only for food, but also for items for pets, for example. During a routine quality control, a microbiological deviation (mold formation) was found in the product “Fiffy Wiesenheu 700g” of batches no. 156 (best before 11/24) and no. 161 (best before 02/25). For this reason, SPAR is recalling the product with the above batch numbers. This warning does not imply that the nonconformity was caused by the producer, manufacturer, importer or distributor.
Customers are asked not to use the “Fiffy Wiesenhay 700g” with the batch numbers 156 and 161 for their pets due to a microbiological deviation (mold formation). All other Fiffy products or meadow hay of other brands are not affected by this recall.
All customers who have bought a product with the batch numbers mentioned can of course return it to the nearest SPAR, EUROSPAR or INTERSPAR store or Maximarkt. Customers are reimbursed the purchase price even without a receipt.
Customers who have questions about this are welcome to contact customer service at office@spar.at or call the freephone number 0800 / 22 11 20 .

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.
