Recall warning: Jägermettwurst can pose serious health risks!
Recall of Jägermettwurst due to STEC bacteria in Lower Saxony. Consumers should immediately return products at risk.
Recall warning: Jägermettwurst can pose serious health risks!
The popular Jägermettwurst is being criticized in a current warning: Altmärker Fleisch- und Wurstwaren GmbH has launched a recall that refers to the vacuum-packed sausage weighing 250 grams. The problem? A detection of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), which can cause serious health problems. This information has regionalheute.de compiled.
The recall affects all products with the best-before date of October 10, 2025 and the batch number PR817110. The sausage was particularly affected in federal states such as Lower Saxony, where it was sold in well-known supermarkets such as Rewe, Norma, Metro and Edeka. The fact that this sausage should not be consumed without further ado is particularly alarming because the STEC bacteria can cause serious symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain and even acute kidney failure.
Urgent warning to consumers
Health authorities strongly advise against eating this sausage. T-online mentions that a recall is also being carried out by the Erlander brand, which sells the same sausage. The complete recall also applies to all products with the stated best-before date that have already been taken off the market. If you have the Jägermettwurst in your fridge, it is advisable to return it immediately, as the purchase price will be refunded even without a receipt. T online provides information about how the recall is handled and the health risks that the bacteria can pose.
The symptoms of a STEC infection should not be underestimated and can lead to severe disease, especially in children, pregnant women and older people. If an infection is suspected, affected consumers should not hesitate to seek medical attention and report a possible STEC infection.
Recalls and risks at a glance
This is not the only recall initiated due to Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli. The “Pure Rind Salami” from Franz Wiltmann GmbH & Co. KG is also under observation. This salami, which is available nationwide, has also been recalled. The symptoms and dangers here could be as severe as with Jägermettwurst, and consumers are asked to take this recall seriously.
