"Consumption of the product with the stated best before date is not recommended," says the company.

Consumers can return the product in any Kaufland - even without presentation of the receipt - against reimbursement of the purchase price.

Bacteria can cause gastrointestinal diseases

Salmonella can be a cause of severe stomach / intestinal disease (salmonellosis).

The disease occurs several hours to days after infection and manifests itself mainly by sudden onset of diarrhea, abdominal pain, malaise and headache.

In some cases, vomiting and mild fever are added.

The symptoms usually disappear after a few hours or days.

However, for infants, young children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems, fluid loss due to diarrhea and vomiting can be dangerous. (Ad)
