Overview

• Wingert Foods and Zwanenberg/Sonnen Bassermann have pulled multiple Rostbratwürstchen with potato puree and sauerkraut from Rewe, Kaufland, Penny and Edeka shelves.
• Internal quality controls detected harmful concentrations of plant-derived pyrrolizidine alkaloids in the marjoram used for seasoning.
• Health experts warn that prolonged exposure to these toxins can damage the liver and may increase cancer risk.
• Consumers are urged not to eat the affected batches and may return them for a full refund without presenting a receipt.
• This recall marks the latest in a series of German food-safety withdrawals this spring that exposed supply-chain and quality-control gaps.
