Aldi recalls organic spice blends for Salmonella germs
The Merschbrock meadow spice GmbH has started a recall for several organic spice mixtures. Salmonella was found in some products due to an ingredient (fennel). These bacteria can cause diarrhea and other medical conditions.
Recall for spices because of salmonella
The Merschbrock meadow spice GmbH from Rietberg (North Rhine-Westphalia) warns as a precaution against the consumption of organic spices of the brands "Good Bio" & "Bio". As salmonella was detected in some products due to an ingredient (fennel), the company has started a recall for various spice blends. The product concerned was sold in branches of Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd.

-Organic Curry Madras fine spice mixture BBD: 02.2020

Do not consume the affected product anymore
The company points out that these articles no longer use or consume.
Other varieties and articles of the manufacturer Merschbrock-Wiese, as well as other articles traded under the brand name "Gut Bio" & "Bio" are not affected.
"Still existing packs of the above items, with the appropriate best before date can of course be returned for reimbursement of the purchase price at the place of purchase," writes the spice manufacturer.
Bacteria cause gastrointestinal infections
Salmonella can cause unpleasant gastrointestinal infections (salmonellosis).
The disease usually occurs a few hours to days after infection and manifests itself mainly by sudden onset of diarrhea, abdominal pain, malaise, weakness and headache.
In some cases, vomiting and mild fever are also present, as well as pain during bowel movements and mucus or blood in the stool.
The symptoms usually disappear by themselves within a few hours or days. For infants, young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems, fluid loss due to diarrhea and vomiting can be dangerous.
Those who have consumed such spices and develop severe or persistent symptoms should seek medical attention and point out a possible salmonella infection. (Ad)
