Waitrose issues recall for prawns as shoppers warned they are 'unsafe to eat'

Premium UK supermarket chain Waitrose has issued an urgent recall for two packets of frozen prawns that they have said are "unsafe to eat".

An alert from The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has found that the supermarket's Frozen Cooked & Peeled Jumbo King Prawns and Essential Frozen Cooked King Prawns contain raw, uncooked prawns. The FSA alert has said that Waitrose has issued the recall as a "precautionary measure" in response to the potential presence of uncooked prawns.

Due to the risk of food poisoning, including salmonella, it is advised that prawns and many other shellfish are not undercooked or eaten raw.
