Official Warnings and Symptoms
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) stated: "Prepworld is recalling the above products. Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling these products. These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the products." The FSA added: "Symptoms caused by salmonella usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. If you are experiencing these symptoms, you should stay away from work, school or nursery until you have stopped having symptoms for at least 48 hours to avoid passing it on to others."
Tesco also issued a statement: "We’re recalling batches of various Tesco fruit pots and a Fruit Kebabs product. This is because salmonella was detected during routine testing, which may make these products unsafe to eat. If you’ve bought an affected product, please don’t eat it. Instead, return it to a Tesco store where a full refund will be given. No receipt is required."
