Urgent recall of fruit pots sold in Asda, Waitrose, M&S and Morrisons over Salmonella fears
Fruit pots sold in Asda, Waitrose, M&S and Morrisons are being urgently recalled over fears of Salmonella contamination.
A major manufacturer of fruit pot products on sale in some leading UK supermarkets has recalled a host of lines - due to the risk of salmonella. Food firm Prepworld is recalling a number of fruit packs, including many on sale at the likes of Asda, Waitrose, M&S and Morrisons, after "testing identified Salmonella in apple and kiwi used in the products".
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said a recall had been initiated due to "the possible presence of Salmonella in the products". "Symptoms caused by Salmonella usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps," the FSA went on.
"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."
In response, it said Prepworld was recalling the listed items, with point of sale notices displayed in "all retail stores that are selling these products". "These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the products," they added.
