Lidl Warns of Possible Salmonella in Mozzarella

The Lidl grocery store chain says that one of its suppliers suspects that a brand of mozzarella cheese may be infected with salmonella. Salmonella had been found in Italy in the German-manufactured Linessa Mozzarella Light cheese, and cheese from the same lot has also been sold in Lidl shops in Finland.
