Scary Lidl Beefburgers

Lidl has recalled meat from a French supplier (SEB) after seven children were hospitalised with the E coli bacteria, six of them in the northern French city of Lille. The meat supplied to the supermarket chain was from Germany, Belgium and Holland but was processed in France to make the "Steak Country" range of frozen hamburgers. An SEB spokesperson stressed that there had been rigorous testing of their product and hinted that the fault probably lay elsewhere.
