Tesco recalls Tesco Grape & Berry Medley because of contamination with salmonella

Why it was recalled

Tesco is recalling its Grape & Berry Medley after salmonella was found in the product. Fresh fruit pots are eaten straight from the pack without washing or cooking, so a positive test leads directly to a recall.

Salmonella typically causes fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. Most healthy people recover within a few days, but the infection passes easily between people, so anyone with symptoms should stay away from work, school or nursery until 48 hours after they stop.

What this means for you

If this fruit pot is in your fridge, do not eat it, and do not tip it into fruit salads or lunchboxes. Return it to any Tesco store for a full refund. If a family member develops fever, diarrhoea or cramps after eating it, keep them home and hydrated, and seek medical advice if symptoms are severe or the person is very young, elderly or otherwise vulnerable. The official FSA notice carries the authoritative date codes and instructions.
