Current food recall at Lidl: Basil may contain salmonella

Salmonella in basil: Lidl spice is urgently recalled
According to information from the Lower Saxony food distribution company TSI Consumer Goods, the reason for the recall is that a possible contamination of the product with salmonella was found during an internal inspection.
The product warning states that salmonella could be "a trigger for gastrointestinal diseases (salmonellosis)". This could lead to serious courses of the disease "in certain groups of people". These include infants, toddlers, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.
Return of recall products at Lidl: No receipt necessary
Customers who have purchased a product of the affected batches are urged to pay attention to the recall. Affected products can be handed in at all Lidl stores. The purchase price will also be refunded without presentation of the receipt.
