Broken glass in dessert
At the same time, Rewe issued a product appeal because it might contain broken glass of applesauce.

Impurities and foreign bodies in food
Due to errors in the manufacturing processes, contaminants or foreign bodies in food can occur again and again. For example, a recall was started at the beginning of the year after glass fragments were found in Chio-Dip. Broken glass and broken glass can cause serious injury to the mouth and throat, as well as internal injuries. In addition to foreign bodies, contamination with harmful germs is a common reason for food recall campaigns. (Ad)
