Finnish food company Oikia has issued a recall for its Moomin-brand oat snacks. The affected product is Oikia Moomin Oat Snacks with lingonberry flavor in 25g packages. The batch carries GTIN code 6430013253881 with a best before date of July 15, 2026.
The manufacturer discovered during quality control that this batch may contain hardened raw materials. These pieces do not melt in a child's mouth and could pose a choking risk. Parents should not serve these snacks to children.
Consumers should return the product to their point of purchase. Alternatively, they can mail the empty packaging to Suomen Oikia Oy at Maustetie 2, 92930 Pyhäntä. The package must show the product date or batch code for refund processing.
This recall highlights the importance of rigorous food safety monitoring for children's products. Even established brands can face quality control challenges that require immediate action to protect young consumers.
Parents checking their pantries should look for the specific batch code and best before date. The company has taken responsible steps by publicly announcing the recall and providing clear return instructions.
