Several supermarkets including Asda, Sainsbury’s, the Co-op, and Waitrose have issued urgent product recalls over chilled and frozen seafood products. As a result, the British Food Standards Agency issued the alert of possible contamination with salmonella, which can cause food poisoning.
“The retailers are recalling the products. Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling the products. The notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they bought the product,” the FSA said.
The products might be contaminated with salmonella, which usually causes symptoms that include fever, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps.
