Nearly 20 types of houmous from stores including Sainsbury’s Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl, Asda and widely available in many Local mini-markets providing Cypriot products, have been urgently recalled over fears it could be contaminated with salmonella.
A supermarket houmous product from peri peri chicken chain Nando’s is also feared to contain the dangerous bug, which can cause dangerous complications in children and the elderly.
The Food Standards Agency is urging consumers not to eat the products, from a producer called Zorba Delicacies Limited, and return them to stores for a refund.
The government department said: ‘The products listed above might be contaminated with salmonella.
‘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.’
