Manufacturer
Dennree Naturkost GmbH
Expiry Date

Dennree is recalling the following items for reasons of preventative consumer protection:

Danger  : Possible presence of Clostridium botulinum

Supplier communication:

Graying on the surface of part of our production, linked to a non-compliant supplier ingredient. This situation does not exclude a Clostridium botulinum risk.

Information :

Botulism is a rare disease that most commonly results from eating contaminated food containing botulinum toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum . This toxin develops in particular in canned or sausage products made at home or at home for which the sterilization process has not been mastered. Symptoms usually appear 12 to 72 hours after ingesting contaminated food, but they can develop earlier or later (2 hours up to 10 days). Botulinum poisoning is characterized by neurological signs: sensation of blurred vision, drooping eyelids, speech problems, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, muscle weakness. Digestive signs (constipation, vomiting, diarrhea) often accompany neurological signs.

The products can be distributed by different points of sale in Luxembourg.
