Attention, Edeka customers! Callback of organic dates due to metal parts!

Deutschland - On May 28, 2025, the EDEKA group announced a callback for a organic product that is produced by the French company Maître Prunille SAS. The "Edeka Bio Soft Dates" are affected in an 180-gram packaging. The reason for the recall is discovered metal parts in individual packaging, which can be a serious health risk.

The best before date for the affected dates is April 10, 2026.

Consumers who bought the product can return it to the Edeka and Marktkauf branches without a receipt and receive their money back. The Edeka customer service is available daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., even on weekends. Customers can reach the service at +49 800 3335211 or by email at info@edeka.de.

background to recall and food safety

The reasons for such recalls are diverse. Metallic foreign bodies often occur in food from machine wear, human errors or inadequate hygiene. Natural contaminants and damaged containers can also lead to contamination. Consumers are regularly informed about such callbacks that are usually necessary for health reasons or due to defects. Food is particularly affected, as the current Situation shows.

The state portal food warning.de represents a central point of contact for consumers. Users can automatically inform themselves about new warning messages through push, email or RSS notifications. The most common reasons for recruitment are contaminants from bacteria, pesticides or inadmissible ingredients as well as foreign bodies.

The recall campaign by Edeka illustrates the importance of monitoring foods via official channels and paying attention to recalls in order to minimize health risks. Consumers are asked to immediately use medical help if the consumption of a contaminated product is suspected.
