Italian salami with wild boar possibly contaminated with germs
The affected salami with wild boar could be contaminated with E.coli bacteria (Escherichia coli bacteria).
An EHEC infection can cause diarrheal diseases in people, some with serious complications.
Symptoms of an EHEC infection can be watery diarrhea or nausea, vomiting and/or abdominal pain, and in rare cases fever and bloody diarrhea.
The incubation period after consumption is usually one to three days, rarely up to ten days, according to the delicatessen retailer's press release.
Infants and children up to preschool age are therefore more likely to become ill.
This group, as well as older people or those with a weakened immune system, are particularly at risk of developing severe courses and complications (up to and including acute kidney failure).
If consumers experience the symptoms mentioned, the delicatessen retailer recommends consulting a doctor immediately and pointing out the suspicion of EHEC.
Consumers can bring the affected product back to the respective point of sale.
