dm recalls spread due to incorrect content - German Retailer Recalls Organic Tomato-Feta Spread Over Hidden Cashew Risk

German retail chain dm has recalled a batch of its organic tomato-feta spread after some jars were found to contain an undeclared cashew product. The error poses a risk to customers with nut allergies, though the spread remains safe for others to eat.

The recall affects dmBio Dried Tomato & Feta Gourmet Spread with a best-before date of 4 June 2027. Affected jars can be identified by their Nabio lids.

An investigation revealed that certain jars were mistakenly filled with Cashew Cream Spread with Dried Tomato & Pine Nuts instead of the tomato-feta mixture. Since cashews—a known allergen—are not listed on the packaging, the mislabelling creates a serious risk for those with nut allergies.

Customers who have purchased the product and have a cashew allergy are advised not to consume it. Instead, they should return the jar to any dm store for a refund or replacement. The company has confirmed that the product poses no health risk to those without cashew allergies.

The recall applies only to the specified batch of tomato-feta spread. dm has not provided further details on how the mislabelling occurred or where the affected jars were distributed. Consumers with concerns can return the product to their nearest dm branch.
