Customers can

return the

affected

by a

recall

at the respective sales outlets in

The manufacturer apologizes many times and writes on

Facebook

that the purchase price will be refunded.

Here, too, you are asked once again to destroy the various sausage products and not to consume them.

According to the Federal Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety, people who

have consumed the

food in question

and

develop

severe or persistent

symptoms should

seek medical help and be

Recall started: Listeriosis infection possible due to sausage from Hessen

If a food contaminated with listeria is consumed, a person will

develop

what is known as

listeriosis

.

This usually manifests itself within 14 days of infection in the form of various symptoms such as

diarrhea

and

fever

.

This might also be possible with the

sausage

from the Herbertehof company from

Hessen

Especially for

pregnant women

, the

elderly

and people with weakened immune systems, serious illnesses can

end

with

blood poisoning

and lead to

meningitis

.

In pregnant women, the unborn child can be harmed, even if the woman shows no symptoms.

The

recall

should therefore be taken seriously by consumers.
