Caution: Lidl Sausage Recall due to Potential Bacterial Contamination!
Checking lake water safety: Key factors to consider before taking a swim.
If you're a Lidl shopper, pay attention! A specific type of sausage is under recall due to possible presence of bacteria that could make you sick. The suspect sausage is the "Cervelas émincé pour salade / Sliced cervelas for salad" (150g), from batch lots 520323 and 420123, with use-by dates of 25/06/2025 and 23/06/2025 respectively.
Why the fuss? This recall is due to contamination with the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause listeriosis. Symptoms of this bug are similar to flu, including high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick, and diarrhea. In severe cases, it can even lead to meningitis. Vulnerable groups such as the elderly, pregnant women and their unborn babies, newborns less than one month old, and people with weakened immune systems are at particular risk.
So, if you've got this Lidl sliced cervelas in your fridge, better return it. Consuming it may lead to Listeria infection, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe depending on your health status.
