Recall due to bacteria in Weidenhof preferred milk
Due to the detection of bacterial contamination Weidenhof OHG in Wächtersbach stopped the delivery of the preferred milk and started a recall for the already delivered goods. The milk was distributed in numerous counties of Hesse as well as in the city and the district of Aschaffenburg in Bavaria.

In controls, bacteria of the genus Campylobacter jejuni were detected in the preferred milk, reported the Weidenhof OHG in Hesse Wächtersbach. In humans, the bacteria can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, nausea and vomiting. After the findings became known, the delivery of the preferred milk was stopped immediately and the milk already delivered had been recalled by the customers. In addition, according to the manufacturer's notification, "all private customers were informed by phone about the contamination of the milk."

In case of diarrhea, consult a doctor after consuming the preferred milk
In order to avoid health risks for the consumers, customer information with the reference to the recall of the preferred milk was placed in the affected retail outlets. In addition, Weidenhof, in coordination with the competent authorities, points out that all persons who consumed the preferred milk during the period from Wednesday, 1 July to Thursday, 16 July and who subsequently had diarrhea, should contact a doctor as a precautionary measure.

On the one hand, Weidenhof's preferred milk was distributed directly to end consumers and, on the other hand, via retail outlets in the Hessian districts Main-Kinzig-Kreis, Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Offenbach, Offenbach district, Groß-Gerau district, Darmstadt-Dieburg district, Wetteraukreis and Vogelsbergkreis. In addition, part of the goods went to Bavaria in the city and the district of Aschaffenburg.

According to the Federal Association of Preferred Milk Producers and direct marketers of milk and dairy products, preferred milk is "untreated, ie raw milk, which may only be produced by state-approved and controlled preferential milk companies." It is subject to particularly stringent requirements because it is sold directly to the market as raw milk will. (Fp)
