Waitrose has issued an urgent recall for its Egg and Spinach Protein Pot due to possible salmonella contamination. The 90g ready-to-eat snack, sold in stores nationwide, poses a health risk, particularly to vulnerable groups.
The recall affects two batches with use-by dates of July 31 and August 1, 2025. Customers who have purchased the product are advised not to eat it and to return it to any Waitrose store for a full refund, with no receipt required.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued the alert, warning that salmonella can cause severe food poisoning, especially in the elderly, young children, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms typically develop within six to 72 hours and can include diarrhoea, fever, and abdominal cramps.
Waitrose has removed the product from shelves and displayed point-of-sale notices explaining the recall. Customers seeking more information can contact Waitrose Customer Care on 0800 188 884 (Option 4).
