Salmonella, which is normally caused by eating contaminated food, can cause food poisoning with symptoms including diarrhoea, stomach cramps and sometimes vomiting and fever.
It typically takes between 12 and 72 hours for the symptoms to develop, and they last for four to seven days, with most people recovering without treatment.

“If any of our shoppers have bought this product, we ask them to check the best-before date and do not eat it if the packaging states that the best before date is 1 September 2015. Instead, return the product to the nearest store and you will receive a full refund or exchange.
“Please be assured that the safety of our shoppers is our number one priority and this was an isolated incident.”
