Overview
- Routine quality checks at Mülheim’s Raffelberger Mineralbrunnen found a bacterial contamination, prompting the company to withdraw specific production batches and notify authorities.
- The recall covers Raffelberger Medium in 0.75‑litre glass bottles and Raffelberger Klassik in 0.7‑litre glass bottles sold in 12‑packs with certain minimum‑durability dates.
- The Bundesamt für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit posted the warning on lebensmittelwarnung.de and retailers removed the identified lots from sale in North Rhine‑Westphalia.
- Rewe and Edeka are offering refunds for the affected bottles, typically without a receipt, and consumers are advised not to drink the listed batches.
- The company says the technical fault has been resolved but has not named the bacteria so consumers should check lebensmittelwarnung.de for updates and return any listed bottles for a refund.
