Recall for "Mice Bacon"
Schaumkonfekt, referred to in the English-speaking world as marshmallows, is also known in this country under the term "mouse bacon".

Ikea's foam sweetener, now affected by the recall, could indeed contain components of mice:

"We have learned that during production of the affected products, mice entered the production unit and could be contaminated," the company wrote in a statement.

Purchase price will be refunded without a receipt
The European Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) describes the cause of the recall much more drastically.

"Dead mouse in Easter marshmallows sweets from Sweden", it says on the website.

Ikea asks all customers who have bought the affected packages to return them to any Ikea store for a full refund.

According to company information, no cash receipt must be presented. (Ad)
