A sausage available in many stores is affected by a product recall.
An examination found E. Coli bacteria.
Kassel – Time and again it happens that a current recall has to be started due to faulty production or wrong ingredients.
Now it has hit a sausage from a Hessian manufacturer.
The consumption of the affected sausage is strongly discouraged: it could lead to serious health consequences.
On Tuesday (September 6th), the Rack&Rüther company from Fuldabrück (Kassel district) started the recall of its product.
During an examination of their farmer's bratwurst (spreadable raw sausage), Escherichia coli (STEC) were discovered in the sausage, the company announced.

Sausage recall: E. coli bacteria can lead to serious illnesses
Consuming the sausage can lead to serious illnesses with diarrhea and abdominal cramps.
These can have serious consequences, especially in small children, including kidney failure.
Risk groups such as children under the age of 6 and people with a suppressed immune system should therefore generally not consume raw products.
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC)
An EHEC (synonyms: STEC, VTEC) disease usually manifests itself within a week after infection with diarrhea and abdominal cramps.
Babies, small children, the elderly and people with a weakened immune system in particular can develop more severe illnesses with bloody diarrhea.
Rarely, especially in small children, acute kidney failure can occur in a second flare-up a few days after the onset of diarrhea.
Anyone who has eaten this food and develops severe or persistent symptoms should seek medical attention and report possible EHEC infection.
It makes no sense to seek preventive medical treatment without symptoms.

Recall for sausages from the Kassel district started: only a specific best-before date is affected
According to the Rack & Rüther company, the farmer's bratwurst is sold in many fresh food counters throughout Germany.
Only sausages with a best-before date of September 30, 2022 are affected.
These were available in stores from August 30th to September 6th.
The goods concerned were sometimes also offered as sections.
