Urgent recall: contaminated pasta causes sudden nausea!
An alarming recall is currently causing a stir among pasta fans in Saxony and Thuringia. The farm Matthias Frantz from Langenwetzendorf has recalled its “Fine Homemade Noodles” in 250 gram and 500 gram packs. Several types of pasta are affected, including tagliatelle in various variations as well as spirelli and macaroni, which have a shelf life until September 29, 2026.
The reason for this recall is possible contamination withStaphylococcus aureus, a bacterium that produces dangerous toxins. These can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Symptoms of food poisoning often appear within 30 minutes to 8 hours after consumption. Babies, small children, seniors and people with a weakened immune system are particularly at risk, as they could potentially suffer more serious symptoms. The typical symptoms usually last about a day, but can last longer. It is therefore advisable to seek medical help if symptoms persist.
