Alnatura recalls baby food due to missing BSE tests
The reason for the recall: In these three jar batches, organic beef was processed from two animals that were slaughtered in North Rhine-Westphalia when they were just over 30 months old. Their meat had been approved by the Herford Veterinary Office, but had not been tested for BSE. This was the result of a comparison carried out by the authorities of the cattle herd register, slaughter data, meat release at slaughterhouses and BSE tests. As a precaution, Alnatura has taken the jars off the market.
The jars were manufactured in August and September 2003 and then marketed. AlnaturA asks consumers who have jars of the type mentioned and exactly these expiry dates in their household in stock to exchange them in their shops (Alnatura supermarkets, dm drugstores, Budni drugstores, tegut markets, Hit markets). Only the named jar variety "carrots with potatoes and beef" and the best before dates 20.08.2005/22.08.2005/03.09.2005, XNUMX/XNUMX/XNUMX and XNUMX/XNUMX/XNUMX are affected.
The two processed organic cattle came from a farm in North Rhine-Westphalia that has been run biodynamically for 15 years. This form of farming requires cattle born on the farm, which are largely supplied with the farm's own fodder. Animal meal was never used on the farm. The BSE risk for these animals is as low as possible. The recall is purely precautionary.
