Alert type: Food

Date of first publication: 03.02.2022

Product name:

Organic Tigernut Flour

Product images:

Reform Kontor GmbH & Co. KG

Manufacturer (distributor):

Reform Kontor GmbH & Co. KG, Ernst-Litfaß-Str. 16, in 19246 Zarrentin

Reason for warning:

Detection of Salmonella spp.

Packaging Unit: 200 g

Durability: Best before September 14, 2022

Further information:

Salmonella disease manifests itself within a few days after infection with diarrhoea, abdominal pain and occasionally vomiting and a slight fever. The symptoms usually subside on their own after a few days. Babies, small children, senior citizens and people with a weakened immune system in particular can develop more severe illnesses. Anyone who has eaten this food and develops severe or persistent symptoms should seek medical attention and report possible salmonella infection. It makes no sense to seek preventive medical treatment without symptoms.
