Attention: Bratwurst recall! Danger to health due to germ contamination!

In an alarming report, Monolith Frost GmbH has initiated a recall for its frozen bratwursts. This measure became necessary after an increased bacterial load was found in several samples, which represents a serious health risk. The bratwursts, which are made of pork and beef and are sold in 1000 gram packs, should under no circumstances be consumed, informs ruhr24.de.

The affected product has a best-before date of January 19, 2026 and is sold primarily in the federal states of Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hesse, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and Saxony-Anhalt. Customers are urged not to consume the bratwursts.

Take health risks seriously

The health effects of possible germ contamination can be serious. Symptoms include stomach cramps, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, lack of energy, loss of appetite, and fever and chills. Symptoms can appear as early as a few hours to two days after consumption. Older people, pregnant women, babies and small children are particularly at risk, which is why particular caution is required, as wa.de reported.

Given these risks, Monolith Frost GmbH has set up a hotline on 0800 66 66 548 to help with questions about returns or the health effects of the product. The company asks for your understanding for the inconvenience and emphasizes that customer safety is its top priority.

Returns and refunds

Affected customers can return the products to any branch and receive a refund of the purchase price without presenting a receipt. This shows that the company is serious about clarifying customer inventories quickly and easily.

Food controls in Germany take place regularly to ensure that food does not pose any health risks to consumers. It is important to be aware of such recalls and check the relevant products to stay safe.
