Some sandwiches sold at major supermarkets have been recalled as it emerged an E.coli outbreak is linked to salad leaves.
Greencore,which makes ready-to-eat food sold by retailers including Asda and Sainsbury’s,has recalled 45 products as a result of the outbreak.
No bacteria has been found in the products directly but the company is recalling the products as a precaution “because of possible contamination with E.coli”.
Products subject to the precautionary recall include everything from vegetarian wraps and a BLT to gluten-free chicken salad sandwiches and a chicken,bacon and avocado focaccia.
A joint investigation between public health and food standards officials identified that at least 211 people had been infected with Shiga toxin-producing E.coli (STEC). Cases have been seen in all nations within the UK and around 42 per cent of cases are admitted to hospital,according to data.
Last week there was widespread concern when the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) issued advice over “a nationally distributed food item or multiple food items” contaminated with STEC.
Symptoms of STEC infection include severe diarrhoea (including bloody diarrhoea),abdominal pain,and sometimes haemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS),which can lead to kidney failure and can be fatal.
Affected products from Greencore have been pulled from shelves and were sold at Asda,Sainsbury’s,Amazon and Aldi.
Investigations identified ready meals,and a specific type of salad leaf,as being eaten by many of the people who contracted STEC. It is understood the source of the contamination came from a supplier of the salad leaves and was not a result of meal production.
