Danish Crown A/S, a leading meat processing company, has issued a recall for its Tulip Turkey Bacon due to potential salmonella contamination. The product was distributed across various retail outlets. The recall was initiated after salmonella was detected in a sample from the company's raw material supplier … See More
on a routine testing, prompting the company to take immediate action to ensure consumer safety.

The recall specifically involves the 110 grams Tulip Turkey Bacon, bearing the EAN number 5707196171938. The product was produced on March 26, 2024, and has a best before date of April 30, 2024.

Consumers are advised to either return the product to the store where it was purchased or discard it.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis.

In case you are experiencing Salmonella symptoms, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

eating normal, my sister had unknowingly packed her another bag of the lays sour cream and onion chips for an after school snack, and she was eating them while we were driving, 15 mins later she’s vomiting all over the car, and complaining of sickness again. It wasn’t until she ate those chips that she got sick on both occasions. I’ve avoided giving them to her since and she’s not had any issues again. Last night my girls dad gave my 6 year old a bag of the Lays sour cream and onion chips before bed, and within an hour or two she was in tears, having diarrhea accidents and claiming her tummy hurt.

know it is possible for me to have gotten sick. I did not appreciate her dismissal. I had severe vomiting and diarrhea for the past 2 days.
