Important recall: Dangerous pasta from Thuringia because of bacteria!
A recall of five different types of pasta has caused a stir in Thuringia and Saxony. The agricultural company “Matthias Frantz” announced today, October 26, 2025, that it would be withdrawing its products because they may be contaminated with dangerous staphylococcal enterotoxins. As Ruhr24 reports, the affected types of pasta were already on October 13, 2025 by the manufacturer and on October 15. October 2025 included in the recall by the Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL).
The affected products include:
- Bandnudeln fein
- Bandnudeln mittel
- Bandnudeln breit
- Spirelli
- Makkaroni (auch als „Feine Hausmachernudeln“ bezeichnet)
The packaging sizes are 250 and 500 grams, and the best before date of these noodles is dated September 29, 2026. The products were produced on September 11, 2025 and are primarily available in Thuringia and Saxony. Most alarmingly, Staphylococcus aureus can cause serious food poisoning, and the enterotoxins are heat-stable, meaning they persist even after the food is heated. This is also highlighted by Merkur, who points out that infants, seniors and people with a weakened immune system are particularly at risk.
Health risks and behavioral recommendations
The symptoms of contamination should not be underestimated: nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhea can result from eating these noodles. It is therefore strongly advised not to consume the affected products. Affected customers can return the pasta to stores, where they will get their money back even without a receipt. The company has already taken steps to directly inform affected buyers and facilitate returns.
The responsible authorities in Saxony and Thuringia are available for further information. You want to educate and minimize risk. However, according to Merkur, preventative doctor visits are not necessary if no symptoms occur.
