Rewe's beer-cured ham may pose an unnoticed risk to people with allergies—due to a labeling error. Which batch is affected and why consuming it may be risky.

Due to an incorrect label on the back of the package, consumers are warned not to eat the beer ham sold at Rewe. If an allergy is suspected, the product should not be consumed and medical advice should be sought, according to the website lebensmittelwarnung.de. The affected products are the 100-gram packages of “Rewe Regional” beer ham manufactured by Thüringer Landstolz Fleisch- und Wurstwaren Schmalkalden GmbH. The best-by date is June 26, 2026, and the lot number is 20260609.

According to the information provided, the 100-gram package of Bierschinken was labeled incorrectly on the back (listing “Römerbraten” instead of “Bierschinken”). The Bierschinken contains mustard, an ingredient that is missing from the ingredient list for the Römerbraten. Unlabeled ingredients can trigger allergies. Consumers are therefore strongly advised not to consume the affected product. Allergies are overreactions of the immune system to substances that are otherwise harmless.
