Lamb meat recalled - may contain salmonella

Lamb meat from the brands Svea country meat and Taste of Gotland is being recalled as salmonella has been found in limited batches.

The recalls concern Svea country meat's 500-gram packages with best-before dates of March 11 and 14, sold at Lidl, as well as Taste of Gotland's 500-gram packages with best-before dates of March 11 and 12. They have been removed from the store, and customers who have purchased the product are urged to return it.

Salmonella can pose a health risk, but the bacteria die when heated to around 70 degrees.
