Major Supermarkets Recall Sandwiches over E. coli Scare

Leading supermarkets have initiated a product recall of sandwiches containing salad leaves due to potential E. coli contamination. The recall, impacting 45 different products, is a precautionary measure to ensure consumer safety.

Among the affected products are the Asda Chicken Salad Sandwich, Boots Chicken & Bacon Caesar Wrap, and Sainsbury's Peri Peri Chicken Wrap. This recall includes sandwiches from major retailers such as Aldi, Amazon, Co-op, and Morrisons.

Greencore Group, a key manufacturer, is at the forefront of this recall, urging customers to return any purchased products for a full refund. The scope of the recall spans various sandwich varieties that could potentially contain the harmful E. coli bacteria.

Customers who have bought any of the recalled products are advised not to consume them and instead return them to the point of purchase. This proactive measure aims to minimize the risk of E. coli infection and protect public health.

The recall extends across a range of sandwich options, from vegan to meat-based fillings, signaling a broad impact on the sandwich market. Asda, Boots, and Sainsbury’s are working closely with the manufacturer to address the issue promptly.
