What to do now

Salmonella has been found, or may be present, in Braemoor Duck Breast Fillet products. It is a common cause of food poisoning in the UK and spreads easily from packaging to hands and worktops.

  1. Put it aside, bagged, away from anything that will not be cooked.
  2. Wash your hands after handling the pack, then clean the surfaces, boards and utensils it touched.
  3. Return it to Lidl, where you should get your money back, or bin it.
  4. Check the freezer and cupboards for other packs with the same details, including anything you have decanted or portioned.

Why it matters. Salmonella usually causes diarrhoea, stomach cramps and a temperature that start within a few days of eating. Freezing does not kill it, and raw or lightly cooked foods carry the highest risk.

Symptoms and when to get help

Look out for

  • feeling sick or being sick
  • diarrhoea
  • stomach cramps
  • a high temperature
  • feeling generally unwell, tired or achy

Get help urgently

  • signs of dehydration, such as passing little or no pee, feeling dizzy or very thirsty
  • blood in your poo or bleeding from the bottom
  • symptoms that are not improving after a few days, or keep coming back
  • a baby, a young child, someone pregnant, someone older or someone with a weakened immune system is unwell

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

Recalled food can be returned to the shop it came from for a full refund. Supermarkets and most independent shops do this without a receipt, because the recall applies to the product, not to your purchase.

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.
