The family of a man who died of salmonella has warned about eating duck eggs.
Niptoon Tavakoli’s family said he fell ill after consuming duck eggs bought at a village fair.
There has been a second case of salmonella involving someone who also said they ate duck eggs from the same farm – although this has not been confirmed as the source of infection.
The supplier of the eggs believes the salmonella came from elsewhere.
Mr Tavakoli’s sister-in-law Donna Martin said: “We just want to try and make people aware, if you buy duck eggs, please cook them thoroughly.
“We would never want another family to go through what we have.”
She “strongly believes” Mr Tavakoli, of Lindholme, Doncaster, contracted salmonella from duck eggs he bought at the Messingham Show in North Lincolnshire on Sunday 2 June.
