Wiltmann Beef Salami Recall Due to Bacterial Contamination
The Wiltmann Company has issued a recall for its Rein Rind-Salami product due to contamination with Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), a bacteria that can cause severe foodborne illness.
Details about the contamination:
EHEC, also known as Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), was detected in a single test. This bacteria can lead to serious health issues such as bloody diarrhea and kidney failure, especially in young children, elderly, and immunocompromised individuals.
Affected batches:
The recall affects specific batches of Rein Rind-Salami in a 70-gram package under the Wiltmann brand. The batch number of the affected product is L2517700010. The affected best before dates are 14.08.2025, 21.08.2025, and 25.08.2025. Other batches of this product are not affected by the recall.
Return process:
Consumers who have purchased the affected Wiltmann Beef Salami are advised not to consume it. The recalled product can be returned to the point of purchase. Retailers will offer a refund or replacement upon return. If you experience any symptoms after consuming the product, seek medical advice immediately.
It's recommended to check the official statements from the company or food safety authorities in your country for exact batch numbers, packaging details, and official recall announcements. No receipt is required for the refund of the recalled beef salami.
Scope of the recall:
The recall affects beef salami sold nationwide in Rewe, Netto, Edeka, Kaufland, and other supermarkets. The purchase price of the recalled beef salami will be refunded.
Caution for vulnerable groups:
Consumers with health sensitivities, such as children, pregnant women, or the elderly, should exercise caution. The potential health risks associated with the affected product warrant the ongoing recall.
The Wiltmann Company announced the recall on the internet. The recall was issued due to a potential health risk, and consumers are advised not to consume the affected product.
The recall expands beyond Wiltmann supermarkets, affecting health-and-wellness stores that sell the Rein Rind-Salami as well, given its potential to lead to severe foodborne illness caused by Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC). Consumers should pay attention to their lifestyle choices, considering the food-and-drink product's association with science-based health risks, especially for vulnerable groups like children, pregnant women, and the elderly.
