The manufacturer Allos has started a recall of its BIO Bircher Muesli. During routine food safety inspection, small pieces of broken glass were found in a package.

Upon inspection of the goods splinters discovered
The glass fragments were discovered in a so-called follow-up inspection in a single package of Bircher Muesli, as the company announced today. The manufacturer of organic goods goes „from an isolated case“, takes, however, for precautionary reasons „all stocks of the article concerned from the trade“.

Already purchased goods should not be consumed in any case but brought back to the grocery store. On presentation of the receipt, the purchase price will be refunded. (Sb)
