Co-op, Starbucks, Costa and Amazon are the latest to recall items off shelves over salmonella fears. It follows action being taken by supermarket retailers Tesco, Sainsbury's, Waitrose, M&S and Aldi to remove chicken products.
As reported by Lancs Live, sandwiches, wraps and ready meals have been pulled after an outbreak of the food poisoning bacteria at a major chicken processing factory. The recall started last week after salmonella was discovered in 'a limited number' of cooked chicken products, according to the supplier, Cranswick.
It covers products made in the company's Hull factory, but are sold as ingredients for sandwiches, deli products and meals to retailers and food to go outlets throughout the UK. A statement from the company said: "As a precautionary measure, we have asked our customers to remove any of their products containing our ready-to-eat chicken produced during the affected period. We are working closely with the Food Standards Agency and will collaborate with their experts to resolve the matter."
