The Food Standards Agency had issue a mass recall of chicken products prepared for big supermarkets such as Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Aldi. It follows an alert over meat at a supplier that was found to contain salmonella - and the fear it could have contaminated further products.
A "do not eat" warning has been put out to the public to reduce the risk of a food poisoning outbreak. M&S, the Co-op and Tesco have also recalled food items containing chicken, including sandwiches and wraps, as have high street café chains Pret-A-Manger, Starbucks and Costa Coffee.
Items supplied by Cranswick Country Foods, which also prepares snacks sold by Amazon, have been removed from shelves as a precaution. It follows a safety alert flagged up by the national food safety regulator yesterday (Thursday May 12) and updated today.
