What to do now
The concern with Yayla Sucuk (sausage) is Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). Only a small number of these bacteria are needed to make someone ill.
- Do not eat any of it, and do not try to rinse it clean — that does not make it safe.
- Clean the fridge and anything the product touched, then wash your hands well.
- Return it to the shop where you bought it, where you should get your money back, or bin it.
- Check the freezer and cupboards for other packs with the same details, including anything you have decanted or portioned.
Why it matters. STEC can cause bloody diarrhoea and, in a small number of cases, a kidney complication called haemolytic uraemic syndrome, most often in young children. Washing salad leaves at home does not reliably remove it.
Symptoms and when to get help
Look out for
- diarrhoea, which may be bloody
- stomach cramps
- feeling or being sick
- a high temperature
Get help urgently
- blood in your poo — get urgent advice from NHS 111 or your GP the same day
- a child who is passing much less pee than usual, looks pale or is unusually tired after a stomach bug
- signs of dehydration or symptoms that are getting worse
This is general information based on NHS public guidance, not medical advice. In an emergency call 999. For urgent advice use NHS 111 (NHS 24 on 111 in Scotland) or, in Northern Ireland, your GP or out-of-hours service.
Getting your money back

If you bought it online or on a delivery, contact the retailer through your account or customer services and tell them the product is under an FSA recall.
