Another spice is affected by a recall. This is reported by the “Product recalls” portal. Because the basil is contaminated with salmonella, Lidl and the manufacturer TSI Consumer Goods are recalling the “Kania basil rubbed”. The product was immediately withdrawn from sale.
In the case of an infection with salmonella, symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea and occasionally vomiting can appear within a few days after eating the contaminated food. A slight fever can also occur. A doctor should be consulted immediately if a salmonella infection is suspected.
In young children, the elderly and people with previous illnesses, a salmonella infection can lead to a severe course of the disease.
