Al Shalati recalls Labneh cheese product in Germany over possible cold‑chain breach

The German food wholesaler Al Shalati has issued a voluntary recall of its Labneh cheese product marketed under the Al Raii brand. The company says a break in the required cold‑chain may have occurred for the batch L0002396, prompting an immediate halt to sales. Consumers are instructed to stop selling the product and return any remaining stock to Al Shalati for a refund. The recall concerns 1‑kg buckets of MP Labneh Al Raii Original, with a best‑before date of 16 September 2026, distributed in the German states of North Rhine‑Westphalia, Bremen and Lower Saxony. No specific pathogen or contaminant has been identified, and Al Shalati does not cite an immediate health risk, but advises against consuming the product in case of reduced quality.
