What is this? Amarettini are small Italian almond-flavored cookies. Some have too much hydrocyanic acid, a natural but harmful substance. The ingredient list on the package is also wrong or missing.
What's happening? A batch of these cookies sold in Germany had unsafe levels of hydrocyanic acid. The label did not list all ingredients correctly.
Does this affect me? If you bought Amarettini in Germany, check your package. People who ate a lot of these cookies may be at risk.
What should I do? Stop eating them and return the cookies to the store. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you feel unwell.
