No acute health hazard The company pointed out that there was no acute health hazard when the product was consumed. However, the mineral water is badly affected in taste and has residues of various benzene derivatives such as toluene. Beverage retailers in the north of Rhineland-Palatinate were mainly supplied. The company asks customers to return the affected boxes to their stores. The purchase price will be refunded.

Contamination in food Due to errors in the manufacturing processes, contamination or foreign bodies in food products can occur again and again. The solvent toluene can cause nerve, kidney and possibly also liver damage in certain amounts and is considered to be toxic to reproduction and harmful to the fruit. The substance could also cause symptoms such as dizziness, headache or drowsiness. (ad)
