Dessert recall in ten federal states: The dessert sold at Rewe and Kaufland should under no circumstances be consumed - it can cause gastrointestinal diseases.
Kassel - Whether it's foreign bodies in cakes, limit values exceeded in grapes or pesticides in a chicken product - there are many reasons for a recall.
Despite all the safety precautions, it sometimes happens that food products that were already on supermarket shelves have to be recalled.
The federal states and the Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL) issued around 308 recalls last year on the joint portal
lebensmittelanwalt.de
published.
Salmonella was recorded as the most common cause of a recall.
Another product currently has to be taken off the market because of the bacteria.
Consumption can cause serious gastrointestinal illnesses.
Recall due to salmonella: dessert available at Rewe and Kaufland
As a precautionary measure, the Mannheim-based food retailer BLG Kardesler GmbH is recalling a dessert from the “Suntat” brand.
Salmonella was detected in one batch, reports the portal
produktvergleich.eu
.
However, according to the company, the goods have already been withdrawn from sale.
The product is available at Rewe and Kaufland, among others, as can be seen from the supermarket websites.
Customers who already have the affected product at home can return it to the respective sales points and exchange it for a new one.
Other best-before dates or other products are not affected by the recall.

In most cases, salmonella is transmitted through contaminated food.
According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), salmonellosis is one of the most common bacterial diseases in humans.
A typical infection manifests itself as sudden diarrhea, headaches, stomach pains, general malaise and occasionally vomiting.
Fever also occurs frequently.
Infants, small children, seniors and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk.
Customers who experience the above symptoms after consuming the product should seek medical attention immediately.
Increase in food recalls
According to the internet portal, the affected dessert was sold in the following federal states:
Baden-Württemberg
Bavaria
Berlin
Brandenburg
Hamburg
Hesse
Lower Saxony
North Rhine-Westphalia
Rhineland-Palatinate
Saxony-Anhalt
Frequent recalls can be worrying for consumers.
But the BVL assesses the increase in reports as rather positive: “The consistently high number shows that companies in Germany are complying with their legal reporting obligations.
“They now see public recalls as part of responsible management that demonstrates trustworthiness,” says Dr.
Andrea Luger, Head of the Food Safety Department at BVL.
