Fessnapf warns its customers: The popular dog snacks from the brands 'Real Nature Wilderness' and 'MultiFit native Snacks' are no longer allowed to be sold to dogs...

The fact check

Yes, this warning is real, BUT it is from July 2019! ( we reported )

At that time, Fressnapf recalled some products due to salmonella infestation. press release (pdf) can be viewed again here So if you actually still have items from these batches lying around at home, you should under no circumstances feed them to your four-legged friend.

Nevertheless, the following applies: re-distributing old reports makes them seem current. This can unintentionally cause worry and fear, although in the meantime the products can be fed again without any worries.

Conclusion: Watch the date!

The best way to do this is to not just read the headline, but also to open the article and look at the date.

It's always good to be on guard, but if Sharepics are simply shared without a date or background knowledge, it can happen that panic breaks out again or that certain topics take on a life of their own.

Therefore, always look at the date, so you can prevent rumors and help avoid causing unnecessary concern.
