A list of 59 food items recalled by Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons has been issued after a possible outbreak of E.coli left people in hospital.
The manufacturers of two sets of common food products – mostly sandwiches, wraps and salads – sold in major supermarkets which also includes the Co-op, Boots and One Stop say they have recalled the 59 items as a ‘precautionary measure’.
Samworth Brothers Manton Wood and Greencore Group have issued their recall notices and other food producers could be set to follow.
E. coli are a group of bacteria that are normally harmless and live in the intestines of humans and animals. But some strains, like Stec, can make people very ill.
The FSA advises any consumers who have any of the products being recalled not to eat them.
Darren Whitby, head of incidents at the Food Standards Agency, said: “Sandwich manufacturers are taking a precautionary measure to recall various sandwiches wraps and salads in response to findings from investigations by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), Food Standards Scotland (FSS) and UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), who are working to identify the cause of an ongoing outbreak caused by shiga toxin-producing E.coli (Stec).”
Greencore Group said in a statement: “As a precautionary measure, we have voluntarily recalled a number of sandwiches and wraps due to a potential food safety risk.
“Greencore adheres to the highest standards of food safety, and we are working closely with the Food Standards Agency and our suppliers to better understand the possible source of any potential issue.”
A Samworth Brothers Manton Wood spokesperson said: “The Food Standards Agency has advised the supplier of a salad ingredient which we use in a small number of products that it should undertake a product withdrawal and recall.
“Meanwhile, food chain investigations are being carried out, which have not yet reached any conclusions.
“A small number of sandwich and wrap lines that are made at our Manton Wood site are being recalled as a precautionary measure to ensure a high level of health protection for consumers. No other Manton Wood products are affected.”
