What to do now
STEC, a harmful type of E. coli, is the reason for this recall. The illness is harsher than ordinary food poisoning and children are the most at risk of complications.
- 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.
- Take it back to Sainsbury’s for a full refund, or throw it away if you prefer. You do not usually need a receipt.
- If you froze some or put it into another container, check those portions too.
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.
Getting your money back
Shops selling the product will display a point-of-sale notice and accept returns. You are entitled to your money back; you are not obliged to accept a voucher or replacement unless you want one.
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, food must be of satisfactory quality and as described. A recalled product does not meet that standard.
