Product name:

Brick, snack loaf, ore chunks, FichtelBERG cheese

Manufacturer (distributor):

Achim Uhl Mobile cheese dairy Hartensteiner Straße 105 OT Oberdorf 09366 Stollberg DE SN 10682 EG

Reason for warning:

The above-mentioned products are classified as harmful to health due to the detection of verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli in the brine and lubricating water used for production.

Durability:

Brick: 10/01/2023/ 05/06/07/08/10/2023/ 12/13/14/10/2023/ 19/10/2023; Vesper loaf: October 1st, 2023/ October 5th, 2023/ October 7th, 2023/ October 12th, 2023; Ore chunks: 10/01/2023/ 05/06/07/08/10/2023/ 12/13/14/10/2023; FichtelBERGkäse: 09/30/2023/ 10/01/2023/ 10/13/2023; FichtelBERG cheese (small): October 1st, 2023.

Additional Information:

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.
