Manufacturer (distributor):

Anker GmbH Fisch- und Feinkostfabrik Gewerbestraße 6 23942 Dassow

Reason for warning:

Salmonella

Packaging Unit: 200 g
Durability: Best before 06.04.2023
Lot identification: EAN 4004702360000
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. In particular, infants, small children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with a weakened immune system 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. Further information on the pathogen can be found here: http://www.infection-protection.de/erregersteckbriefe/salmonellen.
