Supermarkets across the UK have been forced to recall thousands of popular lunch items such as sandwiches and wraps after concerns around E.Coli emerged. 

The Food Standard Agency issued an alert on Friday with dozens of products from Aldi, Asda, Boots and Sainsbury's affected. 

The recall involves products made by the Greencore Group, a leading manufacturer of convenience products in the UK. 

The move is down to the “possible presence” of Shiga toxin-producing E.Coli (STEC) in various items although E.Coli has not yet been detected in any of the products.

Sandwiches affected include favourites such as chicken salad wraps, BLTs and Ploughman’s sandwiches.  The measure has been called as a “precautionary step” but customers have been urged to “not eat” items if any have been purchased.

The FSA statement read: “Greencore Group is taking the precautionary step of recalling various sandwiches, wraps and salads because of possible contamination with E. coli.

“E.coli has not been detected in the products listed below but are being recalled as a precaution.”

The FSA warns that symptoms caused by STEC organisms include “severe diarrhoea (including bloody diarrhoea), abdominal pain, and sometimes haemolytic uremic syndrome, (HUS), a serious condition that can lead to kidney failure and can be fatal.”

Point of sale notices will be displayed where the products were sold explaining to customers why the products are being recalled. Signs will also inform buyers what to do if they have already bought the products.

The FSA stressed that any items should be returned to the store where they were purchased where a full refund should be issued.
