Recent reports highlight a nationwide Rewe rückruf involving a contaminated ready-made meal sold at Rewe stores across Germany. This action addresses potential health risks from bacterial contamination. Consumers are urged to check their purchases immediately.
Fertiggericht Rückruf Details
The recalled product is "KOREAN STREET Hongdae Red Chilli Toppokki," a Korean ready-to-eat dish with article number 28827 and EAN code 8805957023964. It affects specific batches with best-before dates of February 13, 2027; March 10, 2027; and April 15, 2027.
Hersteller Kreyenhop & Kluge GmbH & Co. KG initiated the Rewe rückruf after detecting elevated levels of Bacillus cereus bacteria during internal tests. These spores produce toxins that can survive cooking and cause food poisoning symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Health Risks and Advice
Bacillus cereus poses a risk even in heat-treated foods, as its toxins resist high temperatures. Authorities recommend avoiding consumption of affected items to prevent illness.
No other Korean Street products or batches are impacted. Customers should return the product to any Rewe, Kaufland, or Go Asia store for a full refund, no receipt needed.
Recent Context
This Rewe rückruf follows earlier 2026 incidents, including a January meat loaf recall for undeclared cheese allergens and a salami recall due to E. coli. Such actions underscore ongoing food safety vigilance in German supermarkets.
