Recall: Dangerous sausage from Gut&Günstig in stores!
Attention sausage lovers! There is currently a recall of the popular product “Good & Cheap Delikatess Poultry Meat Sausage”. Heidemark Landfrische GmbH & Co. KG has removed the 400 gram packaging, which has a best before date of July 22, 2025, from sale. The reason for this measure is health concerns, as some of the sausage was not heated sufficiently, putting consumers at risk of becoming ill. As pz-news reports, this could lead to the survival of the dangerous bacterium Clostridium botulinum.
Of particular concern is the potential of Clostridium botulinum, which produces the dangerous toxin botulinum toxin. This can cause serious health problems. Symptoms of poisoning include nausea, vomiting and even difficulty swallowing and speaking, which can be extremely serious. According to Laves Niedersachsen, the symptoms of botulism can be traced back to the toxin, which is one of the strongest known poisons.
This is how consumers react
The affected sausage was mainly available at Edeka and Marktkauf. Consumers are asked not to consume the product and to return it to the store immediately to receive a refund of the purchase price without a receipt. Heidemark's customer service is available for further questions on 0800 3335211, available daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Furthermore, Merkur recommends consumers to check the affected batch or the best before date in their own refrigerator.
This recall is a sensitive reminder of how important it is to pay attention to quality and correct preparation when purchasing and consuming food. Clostridium botulinum is a potential foodborne pathogen that can occur not only in sausage products, but also in other food-processed products such as vacuum-packed smoked fish or home-preserved canned goods. To minimize the risk, consumers should always pay attention to the cold chain and, especially with homemade products, not forget to double heat. These are some of the best measures to prevent food poisoning.
Overall, this is a serious issue that affects everyone who values their health. Keeping a close eye on the products we consume can make a big difference and potentially prevent serious health consequences. So stay alert and well informed!
