Product Recall: "Hello Kitty Apfel Koniac Gelee" Poses Choking Hazard to Children

The Ministry of Health has announced the recall of the "Hello Kitty Apfel Koniac Gelee" product by Sanrio Co. LTD. Tokyo, from the market due to a choking hazard for children. The recall was prompted by information from the EU's Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF), which stated that the product's texture, shape, and size may cause choking if swallowed whole or in large pieces. The packaging contains 12 individual 15-gram packages with an expiration date of 11/06/2026 (26.06.22B). Distribution companies in Cyprus have already been informed and have begun the withdrawal process, while consumers are urged not to give it to their children and return it to the point of purchase.
