Urgent recall: Teff Mehl because of E. coli dangerous for consumers!

Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland - An urgent recall currently affects the "3 Pauly Teff Mehl" product from Vitana Healthy Food GmbH. The reason for this recall is possible contamination with the dangerous bacterium Escherichia Coli Stec, which can cause considerable health risk. The flour affected has already been sold in several federal states in Germany, including Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, North Rhine-Westphalia, Schleswig-Holstein and Thuringia.

The warning affects special packaging sizes of 400 grams, in which the batch number L 25.02.023 and a best before August 2026 are given. Consumers are urgently asked not to use this flour. The recall was communicated via the European Rasff Quick Warning System and a return in the corresponding shops is possible, whereby the purchase price will be reimbursed even without submitting a receipt.

health risks and symptoms

The health risks by eating the contaminated flour are serious. Possible symptoms include severe gastrointestinal disorders and bloody diarrhea, which can be dangerous for children, older people and people with a weakened immune system. According to information from Wa.de , the toxins caused by stec bacteria can lead to serious diseases, including Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (hus) and kidney failure.

The Federal Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety also pointed out the dangers and recommends to see a doctor immediately and to point out the consumption of the flour after eating the product.

recall of other products

In addition to this recall, there are currently other warning messages in the food industry. In a separate case, 11 types of cheese from the French manufacturer Fromagerie Jean Perrin were called back. These products carry the identity license plate "FR25.155.001ue" and can also contain E. coli bacteria, which can also cause serious gastrointestinal diseases. Affected cheese types were sold in numerous federal states, and here too the urgent recommendation applies not to consume the products and to bring them back to shops. The purchase price is usually reimbursed.
