Both Aldi and Tesco have issued urgent warnings to shoppers who have bought their fruit and veg. The two supermarket giants are urging customers to wash their produce before consuming it, over fears it could have been contaminated by a Saharan desert dust cloud.
In March, Spanish authorities issued "extremely poor air quality ratings" for a large band of the country after a mass of hot air from the Sahara dumped dust after crossing the Mediterranean.
Now Tesco has said the dust has affected some of its Spanish crops. It has posted a notice on its website urging people to wash produce before eating, as MEN reports.
