Warning! Recall on Zimbo Fresh Garlic Sausage Due to Potential Food Poisoning
Lidl Sausages Recall Due to Presence of Bacteria
Listen up, folks! Tillman's Convenience GmbH is issuing a recall for their "Zimbo Fresh Garlic Sausage, 200g" with the expiration date 25.06.2025, and let me tell you why. This sausage has tested positive for colibacilli, a microscopic menace that can lead to some pretty unpleasant business - food poisoning.
The affected batch number is 38202198, and it bears the veterinary number DE NW 20028 EG. You might have spotted this sausage at your local Lidl in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Berlin, Brandenburg, Hesse, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, and Rhineland-Palatinate.
If you've got this sausage at home, don't sweat it! You can return it to any Lidl store and expect a full refund, receipt or not, as per Tillman's. But remember, this recall only applies to this specific product, so other items from their lineup are safe to consume.
Now, you're probably wondering what the heck colibacilli are and what they can do to you. Well, here's the lowdown: these microscopic critters are part of the E. coli family, and when they invade your food, they can give you a heck of a stomach ache. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and they can include:
- Crampy tummy trouble
- Bloody diarrhea (yikes!)
- Feeling like you're going to puke
- Fever and chills
- Fatigue and weakness
These symptoms usually show up within a few hours to a few days after you've tucked into the contaminated sausage. And let me tell you, the severity can vary based on the strain of E. coli and your overall health status.
So, if you've chowed down on this recalled sausage and start feeling rotten, put down the sausage gun and head to the doctor ASAP. If your symptoms are weird, like bloody diarrhea or a high fever, medical attention is a must.
And here's some food for thought: since Zimbo Fresh Garlic Sausage is a meat product, it's super important to remember to handle and cook it properly to keep those colibacilli at bay. Happy and healthy eating!
