Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 10 Oct, 12:19 · Archive

Marks & Spencer, Tesco, Primark, Asda and Home Bargains have recalled 15 products this week due to contamination and safety risks.

Supermarkets and high street chains pulled 15 products from sale this week after hazards were identified by manufacturers and safety regulators. The Food Standards Agency and the Office for Product Safety and Standards urged customers to check cupboards, wardrobes and play areas and to stop using the affected goods immediately.

Three Marks & Spencer products and two Pinch ready meals sold at Tesco were recalled after manufacturer Greencore identified Salmonella contamination in pistachio nuts. Symptoms caused by Salmonella include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. People who become infected are advised to stay away from work, school or nursery for at least 48 hours after symptoms clear.

Marks & Spencer said customers in possession of the affected products can return them to their nearest store for a full refund, noting that only the displayed date codes are impacted. Primark issued a recall for two Halloween decorations over asbestos contamination, advising shoppers to wear gloves and masks when handling them. Retailers including Asda and Home Bargains also issued recall notices.
