Supermarket chain Kaufland withdraws mixed berries product - Kaufland removes berry mix from its shelves
In a recent announcement, German retail giant Kaufland has initiated a recall of its 300-gram Berry Mix from the KClassic own-brand range. The decision comes following the detection of Listeria monocytogenes in a sample of the product during routine testing.
The affected berry mix has an expiration date of November 15, 2026, and the recall includes all batches with best-before dates up to and including December 2022. The recalled berries were supplied by the manufacturer Zumdieck.
Customers who have purchased the recalled Berry Mix are encouraged to return it to any Kaufland store for a full refund, regardless of the absence of a receipt. Kaufland has apologised for any inconvenience caused by the recall and is working closely with health authorities to manage the situation.
It is important to note that consumption of the recalled Berry Mix can lead to severe cases of jaundice, and symptoms from consuming the recalled berries may occur several weeks after consumption. Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
The recall is not related to hepatitis A viruses, as some sources on TikTok may suggest. However, it is always advisable to be vigilant about food safety and to check the official Kaufland website, recent news updates, or official recall portals for the latest and most accurate information regarding any food recalls.
The recalled berries have already been removed from sale, and Kaufland assures its customers of its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of food safety and quality. For more information, customers are advised to visit the Kaufland website or contact their local store.
In light of the food recall, Kaufland advocates for a heightened awareness in the community policy for health-and-wellness, especially concerning food-and-drink, urging customers to be vigilant. During the recall management, Kaufland is coordinating closely with authorities for science-based vocational training sessions on food safety procedures to maintain high standards, ensuring a better lifestyle for its customers.
