Salmonella contaminates Germany-wide egg recall at Aldi, Rewe and Penny

The manufacturer Farm Parey has started a callback for his outdoor eggs. The reason is a possible contamination with Salmonella. The eggs were sold by the discounters Aldi Nord and Penny as well as the supermarket chain Rewe in several federal states. Consumers can use the print number to see if they are affected.

Eggs were sold in several stores
The company Farm Parey calls for information of the portal "Lebensmittelwarnung.de" his free-range eggs back. These could possibly be contaminated with salmonella. According to a letter from the manufacturer, the bacterium Salmonella Enteritidis had been detected in an investigation of "free-range eggs" with a date of minimum durability (MHD) until 12/10/2017.

Customers can test print number on the egg
The affected eggs have the print number 1-DE-1504401 and were sold by Aldi Nord, Penny and Rewe in Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Saxony, Thuringia and Bavaria.

Diarrhea and vomiting due to salmonella
Anyone who has already bought the affected eggs should return or dispose of them. Consumption is strongly discouraged. Salmonella causes unpleasant gastrointestinal infections (salmonellosis). The disease occurs several hours to days after infection and manifests itself mainly by sudden onset of diarrhea, feeling unwell, feeling cold, headache and abdominal pain, sometimes come vomiting and mild fever, as well as pain in bowel movements and mucus or blood in the stool possible.

The symptoms usually disappear after just a few hours or days. For babies, small children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems, the loss of fluids as a result of diarrhea and vomiting can be dangerous. In some cases, therefore, treatment in the hospital is required.

With severe symptoms to the doctor
Anyone who has already eaten the affected eggs and develops severe or persistent symptoms should see a doctor and point out the possibility of Salmonella infection, the release said. A preventive treatment without existing symptoms, however, would not make sense.

Fipronil scandal is only a few weeks back
Only a few weeks ago, a big recall was started because thousands of eggs were contaminated with insecticides. It became known that in several layers of laying hens the unauthorized substance fipronil had been used, which acts against, among other things, fleas, lice and ticks.
