The affected 150g pack, with a best before date of "01-02-2026" and batch number "L:SN:2502," was found to lack a proper declaration of sulfites.
Individuals with a sensitivity to sulfur dioxide or sulfites may experience adverse health effects if they consume this product. The recall is limited to the aforementioned batch, and the packaging bears the EAN "4270003865562." At present, the product is predominantly available in stores across Bavaria.

It is explicitly stated that there is no health risk for individuals without a sulfite intolerance.
