Ferrero’s recall begs the question to customers, which “nice” products are still safe to eat? A look at the EAN code provides information.

Cologne – The Ferrero Salmonella scandal is worrying customers across Germany. What Ferrero or “kinder” products can I still take without hesitation? What commodities are at risk of contracting salmonella? And above all: How do I know if the products I have purchased are dangerous to my health? To find out, all you have to do is look at the so-called EAN number, which can be found on the packaging right below the barcode, and reports 24RHEIN.

Remember Ferrero: the dangers of salmonella – this is how you know which products are affected

EAN code – what is it, what does it represent, and where can I find it?

EAN stands for European Article Number. The corresponding EAN code consists of eight to 13 digits. If read correctly, it provides information about the source of the goods, the company that made them, the date they were produced, etc. Consumers can find the EAN code directly below the bar code on the merchandise package.

Ferrero has released a list of products affected by the recall, along with their EAN numbers. For example, if you still have products from the “cuteest” group at home from Easter, like chocolate bonbons or surprise eggs, you can compare the numbers with a quick look at the barcode and see if the sweets are affected by Reconnect. The very popular children’s chocolate is also unaffected. The following products have been recalled by Ferrero and should not be taken back to the supermarket:

Incidentally, the Best Before (MHD) history does not play a role in Ferrero’s recall. As the company explained, the redemption has been extended to all pre-best dates. This means: If the EAN number from the table shown here matches a “nice” product purchased, you should definitely get your hands off it.

Ferrero recall: Consumer advice center criticizes information policy

Remember Ferrero: How do I know I have salmonella?

According to the Consumer Advice Center, salmonella appears within a few days after having diarrhea and abdominal pain. Sometimes vomiting and mild fever can occur. However, symptoms usually go away on their own after a few days in otherwise healthy people. However, anyone who develops persistent or severe symptoms should see a doctor.

Recently, the Consumer Advice Center also criticized Ferrero’s actions. Accordingly, it was “rude and irresponsible” that customers remained in ignorance about the danger of salmonella for a long time. The company is said to have been aware of the danger since the winter of 2021, but did not provide information about it until April 2022. As a result, there was a huge recall of Ferrero products from several German supermarkets, including Kaufland, Rewe, Globus, Edeka, Penny, Lidl or Aldi. (Month)
