Foodloose Expands Recall of Date Balls Due to Foreign Body Risk
The Hamburg-based snack company Foodloose has expanded its product recall for 'WhiteDelights - Pistachio' date balls due to the potential presence of foreign bodies, which pose a risk of injury. The recall now includes two specific batch numbers, H49B1 and J49B0, with best-before dates of August 4, 2026, and October 4, 2026, respectively. Initially, only one batch was cited, but the scope was widened following further investigations. The affected products were distributed across all German federal states except Saarland and were sold primarily through drugstore chains Rossmann and Budni. Consumers are urged to check their packaging for the specified batch numbers and best-before dates. Foodloose advises customers to refrain from consuming the product and to ensure it is kept out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion or injury. The company confirmed that its other product lines remain unaffected by this safety issue. The official warning was published on lebensmittelwarning.de, the central portal for food safety alerts managed by the Federal Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety in Germany.
