Popular fruit urgently recalled due to vomiting, fever and diarrhoea risk
Hundreds of boxes of the common household fruit have been whipped from shelves amid health fears With the summer off to a scorcher in many corners of the world, many will be indulging in a fruit platter or fruit salad to cool them down. However, shoppers should think twice before buying one kind from the supermarket. US health authorities have urgently recalled 400 boxes of blueberries due to fears of bacterial contamination that can lead to vomiting, fever and diarrhoea. Approximately 12,000lbs of organic blueberries produced by Alma Pak International are affected across America, following routine testing by the company which tested positive for listeria. The recall is categorised as Class 1, the most serious level, indicating a likelihood that exposure to the product could result in severe adverse health effects or even death. Listeria can enter the body through the digestive tract and spread to other organs, causing inflammation throughout the body as the immune system responds. Typical symptoms include fever, diarrhoea, vomiting, and aches and pains. While these symptoms are usually mild, they can escalate to more serious illnesses in those who are particularly vulnerable, such as infants, the elderly, pregnant women and individuals with weakened immune systems. In extreme cases, listeria poisoning can lead to life-threatening complications like meningitis and sepsis. The contaminated blueberries were reportedly shipped to a single customer in North Carolina, although the FDA did not specify whether that customer had distributed them further. This week, a similar recall was issued in the UK for scotch eggs feared to be contaminated with salmonella bacteria. The Compleat Food Group issued an urgent recall for two packs of the popular savoury snack from Wall's after it was discovered they had been contaminated with salmonella. An alert posted by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) advises that products affected are Wall's The Classic Scotch Egg (113g) and Wall's 2 Classic Scotch Eggs (226g), both featuring a use-by date of July 2, 2025. When the Record checked online, the scotch eggs were previously listed as being sold at major supermarkets Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Iceland, although they look to be out of stock or unavailable. The Compleat Food Group has said that the presence of salmonella in these affected packs is an "isolated incident" and that "no other Wall's products are affected." Salmonella is a common bacteria that mainly affects the intestines. It can be contracted after consuming contaminated food or water, with the main causes being undercooked poultry, eggs, and unpasteurised milk. The main symptoms of infection typically include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. And just a few days ago, a chicken product sold by Aldi was recalled over concerns it may contain pieces of plastic. BM Foods Ltd is withdrawing its Chicken Cooked Meat Trimmings from sale due to the possible presence of plastic. This poses a choking hazard making the product unsafe to eat. The recall applies to 400g packs with the batch code 50328453, and has a use-by date of July 4, 2025. Customers are urged not to consume the product and to return it to any Aldi store for a full refund. The Food Standards Agency has issued the following warning: "If you have bought any of the above products do not consume them." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Picnic staple sold at Tesco and Sainsbury's recalled due to deadly bacteria
An alert posted by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has urged shoppers not to eat the savoury snack. There's no denying that Scotch eggs are a staple in a UK picnic. However, shoppers might want to think twice before buying some from the supermarket this summer. That's because The Compleat Food Group has issued an urgent recall for two of packs of the popular savoury snack from Wall's after it was discovered they had been contaminated with salmonella. An alert posted by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) advises that products affected are Wall's The Classic Scotch Egg (113g) and Wall's 2 Classic Scotch Eggs (226g), both featuring a use-by date of July 2, 2025. When we checked online, the scotch eggs were previously listed as being sold at major supermarkets Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Iceland, although they look to be out of stock or unavailable. The Compleat Food Group has said that the presence of salmonella in these affected packs is an "isolated incident" and that "no other Wall's products are affected." Salmonella is a common bacteria illness that mainly affects the intestines. It can be contracted after consuming contaminated food or water, with the main causes being undercooked poultry, eggs, and unpasteurized milk. The main symptoms of infection typically include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. Due to the contamination with the bacteria, shoppers have been urged not to eat the affected scotch eggs but to instead return them to store where they will be provided with a full refund, even without a receipt. The Compleat Food group has also since issued point of sale noticed to all retail stores that were selling these products. These explain to customers why they are being recalled and what to do if they have purchased them. The full recall notice read: "We are voluntarily recalling the following Wall's products with a use-by date of 2nd July 2025 only, due to a potential risk of salmonella. "If you have purchased either product, please do not eat it. Return it to store where it was purchased for a full refund - no receipt is required. "This is an isolated incident and no other Wall's products are affected." Customers looking for further assistance and information are being urged to send an email directly to customercare@ It's not the only recall that we have reported on recently, as the FSA also issued a food alert after BM Foods Ltd issued an urgent recall for its Chicken Cooked Meat Trimmings that were sold at Aldi stores in England. Said to possibly contain the presence of plastic, the recall affected 400g pack sizes with the batch code 50328453 and use-by date of July 4, 2025.
