The manufacturer Bartels-Langness Handelsgesellschaft mbH & Co.KG is recalling a product. Like the portal “Food Warning” reports, the crushed Biogreno organic flaxseed is contaminated with the allergen mustard. However, this is not noted on the packaging.
In Germany, even small quantities of mustard are subject to mandatory labeling. A mustard allergy can manifest itself with abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and stomach cramps. It can also lead to hives, itching or eczema.
A mustard allergy often occurs together with allergies to other substances. Those affected then have a so-called cross-allergy.
