What to do now
Alyan Dubai Style Crunchy Knafeh and Pistachio Milk Chocolate is being recalled because of Salmonella. The bacteria cause an unpleasant stomach illness for most people and a more serious one for the very young and the very old.
- Stop using it now and keep it away from ready-to-eat food.
- Hands first, then worktops, boards and knives: Salmonella moves on contact.
- Take it back to the shop where you bought it 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. Salmonella usually causes diarrhoea, stomach cramps and a temperature that start within a few days of eating. Freezing does not kill it, and raw or lightly cooked foods carry the highest risk.
Symptoms and when to get help
Look out for
- feeling sick or being sick
- diarrhoea
- stomach cramps
- a high temperature
- feeling generally unwell, tired or achy
Get help urgently
- signs of dehydration, such as passing little or no pee, feeling dizzy or very thirsty
- blood in your poo or bleeding from the bottom
- symptoms that are not improving after a few days, or keep coming back
- a baby, a young child, someone pregnant, someone older or someone with a weakened immune system is unwell
