Marks & Spencer and Tesco have recalled five products containing pistachio nuts over fears of salmonella contamination.

Marks & Spencer and Tesco have issued an urgent recall of five products over fears they could contain salmonella, a bacteria that causes fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. The recalled items contain pistachio nuts that are potentially contaminated.

Three M&S products are affected: Super Nutty Wholefood with Soy & Ginger Dressing (use-by dates October 8 to 10, 2026), Nutrient Dense Nutty Super Wholefood (October 8 to 11), and Fresh Collection Pistachio Pesto (October 8 to 13). Two Pinch ready meals sold exclusively at Tesco—Pan Poppin' Chicken Pasanda & Nutty Pilau Rice and Bangin' Butter Chicken & Nutty Pilau Rice—are also recalled, with best-before dates up to October 10. The recall applies only to specific batches, not all items sold under these names.

Customers who have bought affected products should not consume them and can return items to stores for a full refund. Point of sale notices have been displayed in shops explaining the recall. Anyone experiencing salmonella symptoms should stay away from work, school or nursery until they have stopped having symptoms for at least 48 hours.
