Salmonella poisoning can be very dangerous.

The organic manufacturer Vita Natura is therefore recalling its nettle seeds.

The product was also sold in pharmacies.

Bonn - Nettle seeds are said to be a real "superfood": The seeds are said to have a strengthening effect and to support the body in regeneration after serious illnesses, for example.

And the seeds can be used in many ways: in herbal pesto, green smoothie or tea.

However, the manufacturer Vita Natura has now started a Germany-wide recall for its product: Salmonella was found in the nettle seeds.

The product "Organic nettle seeds" in the 250g pack with the batch number AI21K1 and the best before date is August 31, 2024 is affected. Customers who have already purchased the product should not consume it and are asked

to contact customer service directly at

As the company informed in a statement, salmonella was detected in the article.

"According to the Robert Koch Institute, a salmonella disease manifests itself within a few days after infection with diarrhea, abdominal pain and occasional vomiting and a slight fever," the statement said.

People who develop severe or persistent symptoms after consuming the food should see a doctor.

Salmonella poisoning can be particularly dangerous for infants, small children, the elderly or people with a weakened immune system.
