Overview
- Rewe and authorities have issued a precautionary recall for the ja! Beerenmischung 750 g, batch L-26085 with best‑before date 15.03.2028 after laboratory tests detected Hepatitis A virus.
- The affected packs were removed from sale on July 7 and the recall notice was published on the official lebensmittelwarnung.de portal on July 8.
- The batch was distributed to stores in Nordrhein‑Westfalen, Rheinland‑Pfalz, Hessen, Baden‑Württemberg, Saarland, Berlin and Bremen, and some reports note availability in Luxembourg; only the named GTIN and lot are affected.
- Consumers are urged not to eat the product, may return it to any Rewe, Nahkauf or Hit store for a full refund without a receipt, and should seek medical advice if they develop symptoms within the 15–50 day incubation window.
- Health bodies remind the public that freezing does not reliably kill Hepatitis A, that older people and those with liver disease face higher risk, and that vaccination can help prevent illness if given soon after exposure.
