Recall of "Rein Rind Salami" Due to EHEC Contamination
A precautionary recall has been issued for the "Rein Rind Salami" product by Franz Wiltmann GmbH & Co. KG, following the discovery of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) bacteria in the salami.
The recalled salami comes in 70-gram packages with best before dates of 14.08.2025, 21.08.2025, and 25.08.2025. The recall affects salami sold in Lower Saxony at Netto, EDEKA, Kaufland, and other stores.
Customers who have purchased the recalled salami are advised to return it for a refund or disposal. The recall is being conducted via the portal lebensmittelwarnung.de.
People who have eaten the recalled salami and develop severe or persistent symptoms, such as bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever, should seek medical attention and mention a possible EHEC infection. In rare cases, acute kidney failure can occur in young children a few days after the onset of diarrhea.
It's important to note that infants, young children, seniors, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for severe disease courses with bloody diarrhea. However, it is not advisable to seek medical treatment preventively without symptoms.
The recall applies only to the product "Rein Rind Salami" and not to other products of Franz Wiltmann GmbH & Co. KG. The public is advised to check the best before dates of their salami purchases and not consume any recalled products.
For detailed information about the recall and affected retailers, checking official sources such as the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), local health authorities, or the company's official recall announcement is recommended.
