Shoppers Purchase Salami at Edeka, Rewe, and Associated Markets
In a recent development, several German supermarkets and online delivery services have issued a recall for the Wiltmann Rein Rind Salami (70g) with specific best before dates, due to the potential risk of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) contamination [1][3][4].
The affected products were sold at various outlets including Rewe, Edeka & Co., Netto, Kaufland, Wolt, and Knuspr. Consumers who have purchased this salami with best before dates of 14.08.2025, 21.08.2025, or 25.08.2025 are urged not to consume the product [1][3][4].
For those who have already consumed the recalled salami and are not experiencing symptoms, it is advised to seek medical advice as a precautionary measure [4]. Consumers can return affected products at Rewe, Edeka & Co., Netto, Kaufland, and the mentioned delivery services for a full refund, even without a receipt [4].
This recall addresses a serious health risk, particularly for children, pregnant women, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems. In rare cases, an E. coli infection can lead to a hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which can be life-threatening [4]. Symptoms of E. coli infection may include bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever [4].
To ensure safety, consumers are advised to check the pack for the product name "Wiltmann Rein Rind Salami" (70g) and the specified best before dates. If the product matches these details, it should not be consumed. Instead, it should be returned to the store for a refund or disposed of safely.
Consumers who develop symptoms after consuming the recalled salami should seek immediate medical help [4].
This guidance comes from official recall warnings issued in early August 2025 [1][3][4][5]. It is crucial for consumers to follow this advice to protect their health and the health of their loved ones.
