Dear parents, dear consumers,

There is a very small possibility that pea-like looking seeds of the weed “black nightshade” have occasionally found their way into a few meal trays. Due to these small quantities, there is no acute health risk.
Only the consumption of larger quantities of these seeds could cause discomfort such as nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea.

You can find the batch number and the best-before date on the closure flap of the sleeve and on the lid foil.

No other batches or HiPP products are affected by the recall.

In the interests of responsible consumer protection, HiPP has immediately arranged for the products concerned to be recalled from the market.
In order to eliminate any risk, consumers should not use the affected batches of HiPP bowl meals.
If consumers have this product at home that is affected by the recall, it can be returned to the point of sale. Of course there will be a full refund, with or without a receipt.
We regret any inconvenience caused by this measure.
If you have any questions, parents are welcome to contact HiPP Parent Service on +49 (0) 8441 757 384 or via our contact form.

Please be reassured.
Our research shows: The likelihood of one or even more of the nightshade seeds being in a bowl is extremely low. A small amount of the seeds does not pose an acute health risk.
Only the consumption of larger quantities of these seeds could cause discomfort such as nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. The presence of a large quantity of seeds in a bowl is unlikely according to our findings.

It is not possible to tell afterwards whether seeds were included in the menu.

The seeds of the black nightshade contain solanine. You are probably familiar with this substance from green potatoes or unripe tomatoes. Solanine is heat-resistant and does not break down when the food is heated.

The immature seeds of black nightshade look similar to peas. Black nightshade is very common as a weed in agriculture and horticulture. During our follow-up checks, we discovered that individual black nightshade seeds may have smuggled into the raw product.
