Overview
- Piasten issued a precautionary recall that was published Friday, May 22, 2026, after the company said it could not rule out metal pieces in delivered raw material.
- The recall covers Treets Salted Peanuts Vegan 200 g (lot L6155Z, best-before 11.05.2027) and K-Classic Choc It bunte Erdnüsse 300 g (lots L6055Z, L6155Z, L6555Z; best-before dates 10.05.2027–15.05.2027).
- Affected packs were sold nationwide through major retailers including Edeka, Kaufland and Globus, and the public notice lists all federal states as places of distribution.
- Consumers are told not to eat the products and may return them to the place of purchase for a full refund without a receipt; Piasten has provided customer-service@treetspiasten.com for questions.
- Authorities and media note the recall is precautionary with no confirmed injuries or lab confirmation of metal in the final products so far, and the case highlights upstream supplier risk that could prompt more checks of raw-material sourcing.
