Hofer calls back contaminated Landjäger-Wurst-security note!

The discounter Hofer has introduced an important recall for a sausage in cooperation with his supplier Sorger GmbH. The “Frauenaler Landjäger” is affected in the 200-gram pack, the best-before date of which is dated November 19, 2024. The recall is due to possible contamination with the EHEC bacterium, which can cause serious diarrhea. Therefore, consumption of the product is advised.

EHEC, or Enterohemorrhagische Escherichia coli, are special tribes of the intestinal bacterium Escherichia coli. While many tribes are harmless, the disease-causing EHEC tribes can cause serious diseases that are often associated with diarrhea, abdominal pain and sometimes more serious health complications.

availability and return actions

The affected sausage was available in several Austrian federal states, including Carinthia, Styria, Burgenland, Tyrol, Vorarlberg and Salzburg, in the Hofer branches. In order to ensure the security of consumers, the sale of the product was immediately stopped. Customers can return the sausage in any Hofer branch. You will also be reimbursed the purchase price without having to provide evidence.

Hofer has provided clear information to ensure that consumers are informed about the recall campaign. This measure follows the company's responsible action in order to avoid possible health risks for customers. The warning makes it clear that the risk was not caused directly by the producer, manufacturer or distributor of the sausage.

The security of the customers is at the top, and the recall is a preventive measure to avert potential health threats. The incident has already attracted attention on social media and on various platforms, whereby consumers are looking for information about the return of products. This shows the interest and caution of the population in terms of food safety and recall actions.
