A warning is given against consuming the cheese.

EHEC usually manifests itself within a week of infection with diarrhea and abdominal cramps. In particular, infants, toddlers, the elderly and people with a weakened immune system can develop more severe disease with bloody diarrhea. In rare cases, especially in small children, acute kidney failure can occur in a second episode of the disease 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 advise them of possible EHEC infection. Seeking preventive medical treatment without symptoms does not make sense.
