Sainsbury's recalls two products due to possible E.coli contamination

Sainsbury's has recalled two products due to concerns they might be contaminated with E.coli.

The supermarket giant has recalled JS Classic Houmous and JS Lemon & Coriander Houmous due to concerns batches may contain Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, according to the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

The affected batches are 8001352 and 8062998, with use-by dates of September 13 and 14 respectively.

The FSA recall states: "The products listed above might be contaminated with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). Symptoms caused by this organism include diarrhoea, abdominal pain, bloody diarrhoea, and haemolytic uremic syndrome, a serious condition that can lead to kidney failure and can be fatal.

It added: "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.

"If you have bought any of the above products do not eat them. Instead, return them to the store from where they were bought for a full refund."
