Overview
- Florette Deutschland GmbH initiated the recall on Friday, September 4, for Edeka’s 200 g 'Herzstücke Eisbergsalat Salat Pur' after tests indicated possible Salmonella contamination.
- The recall applies only to packs with the use-by date 05.09.2026 that show the label 'In Verkehr gebracht von: Florette Deutschland GmbH' and were sold at Edeka and Marktkauf stores in several northern and central German states.
- Customers are advised not to eat the product and may return affected packs to stores without a receipt for a full refund; Edeka’s customer service can be reached by email at info@edeka.de or the toll-free line 0800 3335211.
- Health guidance notes salmonellosis commonly causes sudden diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting and fever with a 6–72 hour incubation period and warns that young children, older adults, pregnant people and immunocompromised people face higher risk of severe illness.
- The recall follows other recent food-product withdrawals at the same retailer and may prompt further supplier checks and store-level inspections as authorities and companies monitor for additional contaminated batches.
