Lidl recalls salami in Hungary, group with Kaufland grows

Lidl in Hungary has begun a consumer recall of Dulano Artländer szelet salami weighing 240 grams due to a possible risk of the presence of the Escherichia coli bacterium. According to available information, the bacterium can cause diarrhea and inflammation of the large intestine, which is why the chain has urged customers not to consume the product. Telex ↗

Customers can return the salami at any store. The purchase price is to be refunded to them even without presenting a receipt. The notice concerns a specific product sold in Hungary, and the available information does not indicate any impact on the Slovak market. HVG ↗

At the same time, data has emerged about the growth of the group that includes Lidl and Kaufland. The group continues its expansion and has opened approximately 300 new stores worldwide. Its revenues exceeded 185 billion euros, with Lidl alone achieving more than 140 billion euros. Alongside its main retail business, other areas of the group's operations are growing in importance.
