Alnatura Recalls Smoked Tofu Over Production Error That Risks Premature Spoilage

Regulators report the under-heated batch was sold unchilled across major chains, prompting precautionary returns.

Overview

  • The recall covers Alnatura Räuchertofu, unchilled, 200 g, with the minimum shelf-life date 05.07.2026, following discovery of insufficient heating during production.
  • Alnatura and the BVL say shelf life cannot be guaranteed and the product has been removed from sale as a precaution.
  • Distribution spanned Alnatura stores and chains including Budni, Edeka, Müller, Rossmann, Hit and Tegut, with sales reported in 13 German states including Bayern, Berlin, Hamburg, Hessen and Nordrhein‑Westfalen.
  • Consumers are urged not to eat the affected tofu and may return it for a refund or replacement without a receipt; medical advice is recommended for severe or prolonged symptoms after consumption.
  • The BfR notes food poisoning symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps and neurological complaints, and a separate active recall involves dm’s dmBio Tofu Natur (charge 97112) due to potential Bacillus cereus growth.
