These products can all be taken back for a refund
People who bought several popular supermarket products have been warned they may not be safe to eat, and they should return them for a full refund.
Bags of Sainsbury’s Flaked Almond have been found to contain salmonella, which can cause food poisoning.
Posters will be put up in store to warn customers who could have bought the product, as the bacteria may bring on fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps and can cause serious illness in some including elderly and pregnant people.
A brand of flatbreads sold in Aldi have been recalled as they may contain metal due to being ‘tampered with’, shoppers were warned.
‘The possible presence of metal makes this product unsafe to eat,’ the alert for the Village Bakery Signature tortilla wraps warns. ‘No other Aldi or Signature Flatbreads UK products are affected.’
Pieces of metal may also be found in Taj chopped spinach, in packs stocked in Asda and Eden Farms.
