Sächsische und Dresdner Back- und Süßwaren GmbH has initiated a recall of specific batches of Nudossi Hazelnut-Nougat Spread following the detection of salmonella during internal quality checks.
The affected product is the 300g jar variant containing 36% hazelnuts and formulated without palm oil (GTIN 4018087009331). The recall targets jars with best-before dates ranging from August 1 to September 30, 2026. These contaminated batches were distributed across multiple German federal states, raising concerns among consumers nationwide. The company discovered the contamination through its routine internal quality control procedures.
Purchasers of the affected spread are strongly advised against consumption and should dispose of the product immediately. The company has streamlined the refund process, eliminating the need for in-store returns. Customers can obtain reimbursement by emailing a clear photograph showing the product and its best-before date to [email protected], along with their banking details. Those who purchased through www.vadossi.de will receive direct communication from the manufacturer.
According to the Robert Koch Institute, salmonella infections typically manifest within several days of exposure. Common symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, occasional vomiting, and mild fever.
While most healthy individuals recover naturally within days, vulnerable populations, including infants, young children, elderly persons, and immunocompromised individuals, face heightened risks of severe complications. Anyone experiencing persistent or severe symptoms after consuming the product should seek medical attention and mention potential salmonella exposure.
The manufacturer has expressed deep regret over the incident and extended apologies to affected consumers. The company emphasizes that product safety and quality remain paramount priorities.
