Salmonella Risk in Imported Chicken and Ducks

A chicken gyro by the Eridanous brand is being recalled from Lidl due to the risk of salmonella. At the same time, there is no prospect of the refrigerated shelves being filled with Danish ducks again just yet, and four young people from Nykøbing Mors have been nominated for Denmark’s largest entrepreneurship prize.

Recall: Salmonella in chicken gyros from Lidl

A batch of Eridanous-brand chicken gyros is being recalled due to a risk of salmonella. Retail chain Lidl states this in a press release. The batch has a best-before date of 22 May 2027, and a spot check has shown that there is a risk of salmonella in this particular batch.

Consuming the product may pose a health risk. Lidl therefore urges anyone who has purchased it to discard it or return it to the nearest Lidl store. TV MIDTVEST

No prospect of Danish ducks in the refrigerated display

If you sink your teeth into a piece of duck on Mortens Eve, it has probably not enjoyed the summer sun in Danish fields. Supermarket ducks are, after all, largely slaughtered and transported from France, Hungary, China or a completely different country, and a duck slaughtered on Danish soil is rarely seen.

There is no prospect of the refrigerated displays being filled with Danish ducks again just yet. Dansk And opened a slaughterhouse in Struer in 2015, but according to DR Nyheder Midt- og Vestjylland, the adventure soon came to an end. DR Nyheder Midt- og Vestjylland

Venstre: New spokespersons and mayor step back

There has been a reshuffle of positions and new names on the spokesperson posts in Venstre. This comes after Preben Bang Henriksen was excluded from Venstre's parliamentary group at the end of October because he refused to follow the party line. Trine Jepsen, elected in Herning, has become the new culture spokesperson, and Erik Flyvholm has been appointed as fisheries spokesperson, sports spokesperson, church spokesperson and local government spokesperson. Marie Bjerre, elected in Himmerland, is Venstre's new justice spokesperson. A spokesperson is a politician who speaks on the party's behalf in a specific area.

The drama in Venstre continues: Thomas Danielsen has left his constituency in Holstebro, Søren Gade has resigned entirely from Folketinget (Denmark's parliament), and on Monday Struer mayor Marianne Bredal said she is stepping back from Venstre's main board. According to TV MIDTVEST, the matter now takes yet another turn. TV MIDTVEST TV MIDTVEST

Truck fire on the Midtjyske Motorvej

A truck caught fire on Tuesday afternoon at around 16:00 on the Midtjyske Motorvej from Vejle toward Herning between Arnborg and Herning Syd. The northbound lane from Arnborg was closed while the fire was being extinguished, and Brand & Redning MidtVest had extinguished the fire at around 18:00. The fire started in one of the tyres on the truck’s trailer.

One northbound lane has reopened, but the truck is loaded with 30 tonnes of wood pellets, so the other lane remains closed. TV MIDTVEST
