Germs detected smoked salmon due to bacterial load recalled
Due to a possible bacterial load smoked salmon of the brand "Coastal Gold" is recalled. A possible health risk after consumption can not be excluded. Buyers can return the affected products for a refund of the purchase price.
Recall due to bacterial load
As announced on the official website lebensmittelwarnung.de of the Federal Office for Consumer Protection, the Coast Gold Handelsgesellschaft mbH based in Leer recalls the product "Coastal Gold Smoked Salmon Honey" 100 g pack due to bacterial load. The recall was carried out in the context of preventive consumer protection. This affects batches with the BBD from 15.02.2016 to 22.02.2016, Lot No: 04CL, 99225 to 99242. The goods had been sold, inter alia, in Famila- and Markant supermarkets in Lower Saxony.

It is said that the product will be withdrawn from use due to a potential health hazard after ingestion. Affected goods can be returned to the respective branch. The purchase price will be refunded. In samples Listeria monocytogenes have been found. These bacteria have been discovered in recent years several times in other foods, such as in various cheeses or in Pesto alla genovese of a southern German manufacturer.
In case of health problems to the doctor
The company Küstengold points out on its website that people who have already consumed the product and suffer from health problems should visit their family doctor or the nearest medical care center. According to health experts, such bacteria can possibly trigger listeriosis. The course of the disease is similar to that of influenza. Patients suffer first from diarrhea and severe abdominal pain and later often from fever, headache and body aches. The disease is usually treated with antibiotics. (Ad)
