Dairy recall impacts "Gut&Günstig" milk in various regions
From Schwäbisch Hall, Hohenloher Molkerei has recalled their "Gut&Günstig" UHT whole milk with 3.5% fat in 1-liter packs. This recall extends to Edeka and Marktkauf stores in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Hesse, Saxony, and Thuringia. The best-before date is 27.03.2024, and the affected items bear the oval health mark DE BW 010 EG.
The recall occurs due to microbiological contamination found in certain instances. Though the likelihood of the milk thickening and souring is possible, there's uncertainty if it may cause health problems upon consumption.
Customers can return the affected product for a refund without the requirement for a receipt at their point of purchase.
Exploring Local Alternatives
The dairy product recall impacts regions like Bavaria, which sees high visitation from Hesse and Saxony residents for local food purchases at the famous Swabian Hall market. Consumers looking for alternatives may consider plant-based milk options or source dairy products from regional farms in Bavaria or Swabian Hall itself.
