Germany Recalls Wiltmann Rein Rind Salami Over STEC Contamination
A nationwide refund offer follows a single positive STEC test that prompted urgent health advisories calling for tighter supply-chain oversight.
Overview
- Franz Wiltmann GmbH & Co. KG is recalling 70 g Rein Rind Salami batches with best-before dates 14., 21. and 25. August 2025 and batch number L2517700010.
- Consumers can return the product at any retailer without a receipt and receive a full refund.
- According to AGES, STEC infections have an incubation period of two to eight days with symptoms such as watery diarrhea, nausea and vomiting typically appearing after three to four days.
- Children, older adults and immunocompromised individuals face heightened risk of life-threatening complications including hemolytic-uremic syndrome that can damage kidneys, blood vessels and other organs.
