# European food safety and contamination alerts > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/european-food-safety-alerts-proliferate-in-aprilmay-2026 > Updated: 2026-09-04T16:38:11.000Z. Sources: 435. Developments: 106. European food safety authorities continue to manage significant contamination alerts involving various pathogens and physical hazards. A major Salmonella Stanley outbreak was linked to flavored instant noodles produced by Euro Food Service in Ukraine, affecting 14 countries. Other bacterial alerts include E. coli in raw sausages and Listeria monocytogenes contamination affecting smoked salmon, meat, and cheese products across Italy, Ireland, Poland, Belgium, Spain, and Germany. Recent developments in Germany highlight escalating risks in the frozen food and fresh produce sectors. Major retailers, including Aldi, Lidl, Rewe, Kaufland, Netto, and Globus, have issued recalls for frozen berries due to potential Norovirus and Hepatitis A contamination. Health experts warn that freezing does not kill these viruses and recommend boiling berries before consumption. Salmonella risks remain a primary concern in Germany. Jütro Tiefkühlkost GmbH & Co. KG has issued a nationwide recall for ‘Edeka Bio Wildheidelbeeren tiefgefroren’ (300g packs) due to potential contamination in batches with expiration dates in June 2028. Additionally, Florette Deutschland GmbH has recalled EDEKA brand ‘Herzstücke Eisbergsalat Salat Pur’ (200g pre-cut iceberg lettuce) with a best-before date of 05/09/26 due to potential Salmonella presence. This lettuce recall affects multiple German states, including Hamburg, Berlin, and North Rhine-Westphalia. Consumers are advised not to consume these products, even if washed, and can return them for a full refund. Cold-chain failures remain a concern, with Lidl Germany issuing a nationwide recall for Martínez Somalo chorizo products because a potential temperature control interruption may compromise shelf life. Physical and chemical hazards, including metal fragments, plastic, and undeclared allergens, also persist. ## Claims - Gustoland GmbH recalled the product Dulano Delikatess Edel Salami Rind, 100 g.
