Lidl has issued a product recall notice for one of its popular snack items due to potential of salmonella contamination.
The alert concerns the Sol & Mar Chicharricos BBQ Pork Scratchings which have best-before dates from August 5 to August 12. Lidl’s shoppers have been instructed not to eat the product, but instead to get in touch with the supermarket’s customer care department. In a statement, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said: “Lidl GB is recalling the above product. Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling this product.
“These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.”
They added: “If you have bought the above product do not eat it. Instead, return it to your nearest store for a full refund.
“For more information contact Customer Care on customer.care@lidl.co.uk or 0203 966 5566.”
Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause food poisoning, leading to symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach cramps, nausea and fever.
Symptoms typically appear between 12 to 72 hours after exposure.
If your symptoms are severe or persist for more than a week, you should seek medical advice.
The news comes after Asda and Waitrose issued an urgent recall after concerns were raised over glass fragments in a popular food item.
Kelly Loves’ sushi ginger was pulled from the shelves, and in-store notices were put up to warn shoppers about the recall and tell them what to do if they have already purchased the sushi ginger.
The Food Standards Agency warned: “If you have bought any of the above product do not eat it. Instead, return it to any Sushi Daily kiosk for a refund. For further information, please contact Kelly Loves at: contact@kellyloves.com”.
Kelly Loves released a statement via the agency, saying: “Kelly Loves is recalling specific batch of SUSHI GINGER due to a potential risk of glass contamination.
“While the product has been removed from shelves as precautionary measure, we are now extending the recall to consumers who may have purchased the affected product.”
It added: “Other Kelly Loves Sushi Ginger batches/products are not affected by this recall. Customers are advised not to consume this product batch.
“We would like you to kindly return the affected product to the store you purchased from, and you will be granted a full refund (no receipt required).”
