A popular salad topper that is sold at Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons has been recalled over the possible presence of salmonella. Good4U is recalling 60g packs of Super Sprouts Super Greens (with all use by dates up to and including 3 May 2026) because of the possible presence of Salmonella.
The food standards agency highlights that the product is being recalled due to “the possible presence of Salmonella in the product listed above. Symptoms caused by Salmonella usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. If you are experiencing these symptoms, you should stay away from work, school or nursery until you have stopped having symptoms for at least 48 hours to avoid passing it on to others.”
The Good4U Super Sprouts Super Greens with the following use by dates should be returned immediately:
- 22/04/2026
- 26/04/2026

According to the UK Health Security Agency, “There are more than 2,500 strains of Salmonella bacteria. These live in the guts of domestic and wild animals including chicken, cattle, pigs, hedgehogs, snakes and lizards.
“Salmonella causes food poisoning. Foods such as eggs, chicken, pork and dairy produce can carry Salmonellas.
“Fruit and vegetables can also become contaminated if they have been in contact with livestock, manure or untreated water. People preparing food should make sure that they wash their hands and clean kitchen equipment thoroughly to prevent the spread of Salmonellas from meat to other foods in the kitchen. People can also become infected from contact with individuals with diarrhoea or from unwell animals.
“Symptoms of diarrhoea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and fever usually develop between 12 and 72 hours after becoming infected. Illness usually lasts from 4 to 7 days. People with severe or prolonged symptoms should consult a doctor.”
