Additional Information:

An illness with verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli usually manifests itself within a week of infection with diarrhea and abdominal cramps. In particular, infants, small children, seniors and people with weakened immune systems can develop more severe illnesses with bloody diarrhea. Rarely, especially in small children, acute kidney failure can occur in a second attack a few days after the onset of diarrhea. People who have eaten this food and develop severe or persistent symptoms should seek medical attention and report a possible EHEC infection.

The above-mentioned cheeses may also have been sold differently from the manufacturer by other distributors (possibly partly direct marketers) and possibly also with different cheese names, so that identification should be carried out in particular using the identification mark (DE SN 10682 EG), or this can be done by the be asked from sellers.

Customers should definitely pay attention to the recall and not consume the affected products.
