A sausage product sold exclusively in Tesco supermarkets has been withdrawn from the market due to the risk of contamination with salmonella, a bacteria that can cause food poisoning..
The company Sacor has announced the recall of the product Bastides Saucisson Sec, after tests confirmed the presence of salmonella.
Food safety authorities have placed a "do not consume" warning and are urging customers to return the product to any Tesco store for a full refund.
The affected lots include 200 gram packages with a best-before date of March 4, 2026.
What are the symptoms?
Salmonella infection usually causes:
temperature,
diarrhea,
abdominal pain (cramps).
Since the warning was only issued last night, it is possible that some consumers may have unknowingly consumed the product. Authorities advise that anyone showing symptoms should stay away from work, school or daycare until they have been symptom-free for at least 48 hours, to avoid spreading the infection.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) says: "If you have purchased this product, do not consume it. Return it to your nearest Tesco store for a full refund."
According to a study published in BMJ Open Gastroenterology, around 33 people a year die in the UK as a result of food-borne salmonella.
