09/07/2013

Take care when eating ham and onion sausage: The Ahornhof sales company recalls in part their "Delikatess ham and onion sausage 2 x 100g (200g)", specifically the products with the best before date 14 July 2013 and the lot number L222595.

Products may be contaminated with salmonella
The reason for the recall: at routine checks, according to the company „a possible microbial exposure to salmonella is detected ", therefore the consumption of the affected sausage is discouraged and, as a result, the collection of the products from the trade is already under way and affected consumers are also requested to contact the company's service telephone (01 52 / 22 70 11 72).

Severe gastrointestinal diseases due to salmonella
Consumers who have already bought the affected Mettwurst should, however, in no case consume them, as Salmonella can cause severe stomach and intestinal diseases. Anyone who has already eaten from the sausage, should visit the doctor for the first symptoms of Salmonella infection (including salmonellosis) as well as in case of doubt. Thus, at the beginning of salmonellosis, most people experience abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, fever and diarrhea, and as the disease progresses, the diarrhea can quickly lead to dehydration of the organism as a result of fluid and salt loss , which is often associated with other health consequences. Therefore, in case of a Salmonella infection rapid medical treatment is essential - otherwise it can lead to serious circulatory problems, seizures or even kidney failure, also can cause a salmonellosis and the infectious disease typhus.
