Fitmart GmbH & Co. KG issued a recall for ESN Designer Protein Bars in the Dark Chocolate Salted Almond flavor due to the presence of hard, transparent plastic foreign bodies. The fragments, which are approximately the size of the almond pieces in the bars, pose a risk of injury to the mouth and throat or a potential choking hazard. The recall specifically targets 45-gram bars from batch number L3226505-11 with an expiration date of April 13, 2027. The recall is nationwide across Germany, affecting 15 of the 16 federal states. The products were sold through various retailers, including Rewe, dm, and Rossmann. Consumers are advised to return the affected bars to their point of purchase for a refund. In a broader context of food safety warnings in Germany, the ESN recall is among several major brand recalls involving potential contamination. Other recent safety actions include recalls for Arla Foods cream cheese due to insect contamination, Dinkelhof pasta due to Salmonella, and various baby food brands due to excessive cereulide levels.
