Food warning: Manufacturer warns of allergy risk in spices

The use of spices is indispensable in the kitchen to give dishes the right taste. But currently consumers should be particularly attentive, as there is an urgent recall for different spices.

The wholesale company Kosenbate GmbH informs about a recall of spice mixtures from the Alarjawi brand, which has existed since the end of June 2024 and has now been expanded. Originally, the warning only concerned certain best-preservation and manufacturing data, now all articles are affected by the recall.

Danger for allergy sufferers: These spices are affected

The affected products are:

  • alarjawi green thyme spice preparation
  • Alarjawi Roter Thyme Special preparation
  • alarjawi premium thyme spice preparation

The recall takes place due to the lack of identification of soy and peanuts on the products. For allergy sufferers, consumption of these spices can represent serious health risks such as rashes, diarrhea, nausea, respiratory reactions and even an anaphylactic shock with potentially fatal consequences.

recommendations for action for consumers

The recall affects several federal states, including Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Berlin, Hamburg, Hesse, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and Saxony-Anhalt. It is urgently pointed out that none of the affected spice mixtures may be sold. Anyone who bought the products can return them to the sales outlets without a receipt.

It is important that consumers take the warnings from manufacturers seriously and are particularly careful with intolerance or allergies compared to certain foods. These measures can ensure the security of all consumers.

In addition to the recall recall, other brands such as Maggi and Thomy are currently affected by recalls that warn of certain sauce products. It is crucial to pay attention to such warnings and, if in doubt, refrain from consuming these products to avoid health risks.
