Plastic parts are probably from outdoor cultivation

According to the information, the two plastic parts probably come from outdoor cultivation in the field.

The recall affected the 800-gram Iglo cream spinach package ("the one with the Blubb") with the expiry date 09.2019 and the code L7257AJ005, which is stated on the packaging page.

Since this is a very limited production period, the company not only asks for the code, but also the time (11pm to 3am).

Affected goods should be disposed of

According to the manufacturer, packs from the batch have been delivered exclusively to the sales outlets in the states of Lower Saxony, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Thuringia, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia and Baden-Württemberg.

"Consumers are asked to dispose of the relevant products" 800g pack / iglo cream spinach ". Iglo refunds the purchase price for the named product and, if necessary, for the postage costs, "it says in the message.

For this purpose, the company asks for the shipment of the packaging section with the listed coding to the following address: iglo GmbH, consumer service "800g - iglo cream spinach" Osterbekstr. 90c, 22083 Hamburg.

Already two years ago, Iglo had recalled Tiefkühlspinat because plastic parts had been found in it. At that time certain packages of "iglo cream spinach, variant lactose-free, 550g" were affected. (Ad)
