Carcinogenic Substances Found: Stiftung Warentest Warns Against This Dubai Chocolate
The detected contaminants are 3-MCPD fatty acid esters and glycidyl esters. These are substances that can arise during the production and processing of food, for example when vegetable fats and oils are exposed to high temperatures during the manufacturing process. They are often found in refined palm oil and are classified as potentially carcinogenic.
Stay Away from Le Damas "Dubai Chocolate Kunafa & Pistachio"
Affected was, among others, the "Dubai Chocolate Kunafa & Pistachio" from Le Damas. In this Dubai chocolate, mold toxins, known as aflatoxins, were also found. They are considered carcinogenic and frequently occur in pistachios.
The only two products that met the labeling requirements were the "Dubai Style Chocolate Pistachio Kadayif" from Lindt and the "Milk Chocolate Pistachio Kadayif" from Fex Dessert.
