Tesco and Aldi warning to all customers who buy fruit and vegetables

Tesco and Aldi have both issued urgent warnings to anyone who has bought fruit and vegetables from their shelves.

The supermarket giants are urging customers to wash any fruit or veg before eating it, amid fears it could have been contaminated by the Saharan desert dust cloud that swept across the Mediterranean earlier this month. In the middle of March, Spanish authorities issued "extremely poor air quality ratings" for a large band of the country.

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, according to the Manchester Evening News.
