Yes, but poisoned sausages is good for a nice simple story line. Contaminated when someone dropped a spatula in the slurry.

I don't mean simple storyline- I mean the conncept of poisoned sausages is simple. The mistrust for the product is already there. There could be any number of suspects - who was last seen wandering through the sausage shed? Take your pick of worthy victims, too. For me, of course, it would have to be the Twelfth Earl. Prolonged whinging and eulogising about what a great farmer and family man could ensue, all entwined with moralising about the importance of sterilising spatulas. Ooh, what about a mass cull! Now that really does sound promising.

"A Spatula in the Slurry". The lost manuscript of Agatha Christie. Lol!
