Immediate recall of the completed product - Alert issued due to suspected adverse effects
Spicy Update on Product Recall 🇩🇪
By: Fabian Hartmann
Catch the scoop on a recent product removal from the market! A distributor of Asian food products in Germany is recalling an Indonesian instant noodle soup - specifically, the vegetarian variant "Vegetable" by Indomie – due to insufficient labeling of ingredients.
A Taste of Controversy: Instant Noodle Soup Brand Recalled
Manufactured in Indonesia by Indofood, the problematic vegetarian soup features a minimum durability date of 06.02.2026. The distributor, Orient Gate GmbH, based in Hamburg, has issued a recall notice for the soup via lebensmittelwarnung.de.
The recall originated due to the inadequate labeling of allergens and additives within the soup. In a press statement, Orient Gate GmbH warned consumers that this lack of labeling violates important regulations. The recall applies to the soup, which comes in a green five-pack carton decked with bright yellow and green elements and a blue brand logo. If you've bought this specific product, return it to the manufacturer at Pinkertweg 4, 22113 Hamburg.
Buyer Beware: Send Back the Affected Instant Soup
If you've stumbled upon this exotic instant noodle soup in Berlin, Baden-Württemberg, or Saxony-Anhalt, consider returning it to the distributor. Don't worry about qualitative defects; the recall stems solely from the missing allergen and additive labeling.
According to the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Consumer Protection (BMEL), the mandatory labeling of allergens is crucial for the safety and comfort of allergy sufferers. At BMEL, you can find a comprehensive list of the 14 most common allergy triggers, such as peanuts, shellfish, and gluten-containing cereals, which must be indicated on products.
Besides allergens, the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) Erfurt advises consumers to keep an eye out for various other additives, such as antioxidants and flavor enhancers, in the products they consume.
