What to do now
Raw Unsalted Macadamia Nuts has been recalled because of E. coli. Treat the affected packs as unsafe whatever their date, and clean anything they touched.
- Do not eat it. If it is a salad or sandwich, do not try to wash or pick out the affected part.
- Wash hands, boards and the fridge shelf with hot soapy water after handling it.
- Return it to the shop where you bought it for a refund. Shops normally accept recalled food without a receipt.
- Look for other packs at home: the recall covers every pack that matches the details below.
Why it matters. STEC can cause bloody diarrhoea and, in a small number of cases, a kidney complication called haemolytic uraemic syndrome, most often in young children. Washing salad leaves at home does not reliably remove it.
Symptoms and when to get help
Look out for
- diarrhoea, which may be bloody
- stomach cramps
- feeling or being sick
- a high temperature
Get help urgently
- blood in your poo — get urgent advice from NHS 111 or your GP the same day
- a child who is passing much less pee than usual, looks pale or is unusually tired after a stomach bug
- signs of dehydration or symptoms that are getting worse
This is general information based on NHS public guidance, not medical advice. In an emergency call 999. For urgent advice use NHS 111 (NHS 24 on 111 in Scotland) or, in Northern Ireland, your GP or out-of-hours service.
