Do not eat affected products

According to the company, the articles were "sold in stores of the retail chain Aldi Nord, and only in Berlin and Hamburg, as well as in the federal states of Brandenburg, Hesse, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia and Schleswig-Holstein."

In consultation with the authorities, the manufacturer has arranged the withdrawal from the trade. Customers who have purchased one of the products can return it in the trade for a refund of the purchase price.

"The consumption of the products is strongly discouraged," writes the company, which only a few weeks ago had started a recall because of Salmonella.

Infants and seniors particularly at risk

A salmonella disease breaks out after infection within a few hours or days and presents with symptoms such as diarrhea, headache, abdominal pain, general malaise and occasionally vomiting.

Often also a slight fever occurs. The complaints usually last for several days and then stop themselves.

In rare cases, it can also lead to serious illnesses, such as blood poisoning.

"Infants, toddlers, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk. With them, it can lead to longer and more severe illnesses, "explains the Federal Center for Health Education (BZgA) on the website" Infektionsschutz.de ".

"People who develop severe or persistent symptoms and have eaten this food should seek medical attention and point out a possible salmonella infection," writes Hans Kupfer & Sohn GmbH & Co. KG. (Ad)
