Overview
- Routine testing detected shigatoxin-producing E. coli in K-Classic Delikatess Salami 1A on Wednesday, prompting a recall.
- An official notice posted Thursday lists GTIN 4063367325779 and best-before dates 17.04.2026, 24.04.2026 and 01.05.2026 for the 100 g packs.
- Kaufland pulled the product from shelves nationwide and will refund returns in any store without a receipt.
- STEC infections can cause diarrhea and stomach cramps and in severe cases can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome and kidney failure, especially in infants, young children, pregnant people, older adults and those with weak immune systems.
- Anyone who ate the salami and develops symptoms should see a doctor and mention a possible STEC infection, and reports so far do not describe confirmed illness clusters linked to these batches.
