Why are the products being recalled?

The presence of salmonella was found in the products by the FSA. Salmonella can cause a variety of symptoms including a fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps.

Symptoms usually develop within a few days of eating the contaminated food, according to the NHS. Sometimes symptoms can develop within just a few hours, though, or might even take as long as a few weeks to show.

How do I return the product?

If you have bought any of the above products, do not eat them.

Instead, return them to the store where they were bought for a full refund. Alternatively, email a photo of the product packaging clearly showing the batch code information printed on the inner bag of the products to customerservices@sfcwholesale.co.uk for a refund, then safely dispose of the product at home.
