Aluminum parts in packaging
Furthermore, the „Delikatess beer ham“ of the brand „Good ponholz“ With the best before dates withdrawn from January 13 to February 3. The product was offered at the discounter "Netto in parts of Berlin, Brandenburg, Bremen, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia". It was stated that "due to a defect in a packaging machine, it can not be ruled out that in some cases aluminum parts will be present in the packaging concerned". There are a total of several thousand packs.

Dispose of products as a precaution
The company asks customers to dispose of purchased products as a precautionary measure. The empty packaging can be returned to Bell Germany for a corresponding purchase price compensation.
