Recalled instant noodles linked to a Europe-wide Salmonella outbreak could continue making people sick because affected products may still be sitting in kitchen cupboards long after being removed from supermarket shelves, health officials have warned.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) say 106 people have been infected with Salmonella Stanley across 14 countries, including the UK, between November 2025 and June 2026. Of those infected, 49 have been hospitalised, with children and young adults accounting for many of the reported cases.
