Alert type: Groceries
Date of first publication:

07/21/2023

Product name: Onion Mettwurst
Fleischwaren-Wulff GmbH & Co. KG Hans-Böckler-Str. 25 37079 Goettingen
Manufacturer (distributor):

Reason for warning:

The product could be contaminated with Escherichia Coli germs (STEC/VTEC).

Packaging Unit: 150g
Durability: 07/31 / 01.08. / 02.08. / 03.08. / 04.08.2023
Lot identification: Batch: 327301 EAN: 4002049027525
Additional Information:

Most E. coli strains are harmless colonists of the human intestine. But they are an
indication of contamination of a food. There are also some E. coli strains that
can cause intestinal infections. E. coli 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 indicate possible E. coli infection. It makes no sense to seek preventive medical treatment without symptoms
