Manufacturer Recalls Corned Beef Jars After Glass Splinters Found

Health officials warn the contaminated batch can injure the mouth, throat or digestive tract, prompting returns in four northern German states.

Overview

  • Bakenhus Biofleisch issued a targeted recall after glass splinters were discovered in a 160 g jar of “Deutsches Corned Beef,” with the company and the BVL posting notices on lebensmittelwarnung.de on Nov. 9 and Nov. 10.
  • The withdrawal covers a single batch (charge 090426) of 160 g jars with best-before dates 01.03.2028, 05.03.2028 and 10.03.2028 and the firm says other batches and dates are not affected.
  • Authorities say the affected jars were sold in Bremen, Hamburg, Niedersachsen and Schleswig-Holstein after wholesale distribution to retail stores, farm shops and delicatessens.
  • Consumers are advised not to open or eat the product and may return affected jars to the place of purchase for a refund; Bakenhus has provided an email contact (info@bakenhus-biofleisch.de) for inquiries.
  • Medical advice urges anyone who has eaten the product and now has swallowing problems, severe pain or bleeding to seek immediate care, and the recall follows standard practice for glass contamination notices in Germany.
