The warning covers all pack sizes and best-before dates for product code 3UA1012066 after UKHSA linked the strain to 36 cases in England.
- The Food Standards Agency issued a "do not eat" warning after identifying Salmonella Enteritidis in eggs imported from Kyiv-based poultry company Yasensvit Ltd, ordering immediate recall of products stamped 3UA1012066.
