The statement read: “The Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition has learned, through the European Food Alert Network (RASFF), of an alert notification issued by the German health authorities regarding the presence of metal fragments in the Tofu Spinacia product”.

Specifically, the alert relates to the Tofu Spinacia product of the Taifun brand, of 200 grams in weight and sold in plastic packaging. The affected batches have the lot number and expiration dates of ‘254; 06/02/2023’, and ‘274; 06/22/2023’.

According to the information available, the initial distribution was made to the autonomous communities of Andalucia, Aragon, Asturias, the Balearic Islands, Cantabria, Catalonia, Castilla y León, the Valencian Community, Extremadura, Galicia, Madrid and the Basque Country.

It has not been ruled out though that the product could have been redistributed to other autonomous communities.

This information has been transferred to the competent authorities of the autonomous communities through the Coordinated System for Rapid Information Exchange (SCIRI), in order to verify the withdrawal of the affected products from the marketing channels.

People who have products affected by this alert at home are recommended by AESAN to refrain from consuming them.
