Manufacturer (distributor):

BTG Berlin Trade GmbH, Wilhelminenhofstraße 89a in 12459 Berlin

Reason for warning:

Salmonella 25 g in Moringa powder, which is ready to eat without further heating

Packaging Unit: 250 g
Durability: 08/24/2025
Lot identification:

OMORP/KG/DUC18/WG13

Additional Information:

Salmonella infection manifests itself within a few days of infection with diarrhea, abdominal pain and occasionally vomiting and a slight fever. The symptoms usually go away on their own after several days. In particular, infants, small children, seniors and people with weakened immune systems can develop more severe illnesses. People who have eaten this food and develop severe or persistent symptoms should seek medical attention and report a possible salmonella infection. Seeking preventive medical treatment without symptoms does not make sense.
