Every Asda, Boots, Tesco, Co-Op and Sainsburys sandwich and wrap recalled due to E.coli outbreak

Customers are being strongly advised to avoid consuming thousands of sandwiches and wraps from supermarkets after two suppliers initiated recalls due to concerns about E. coli contamination.

Greencore Group, which provides products to a number of major supermarkets, has described the recall as a "precautionary measure" and is requesting that customers do not eat the items but return them instead. Similarly, Samworth Brothers Manton Wood, supplier to Tesco and One Stop, has issued a precautionary recall.

E. coli infections can lead to severe bloody diarrhoea and are typically contracted through the consumption of contaminated food. However, the bacteria can also spread through close contact with an infected individual or direct contact with animals or their environments that are carrying the infection.

The Food Standards Agency released a list of the recalled products on June 14, stating that although the bacteria had not been detected in these specific items, the recall was being carried out as a precautionary step, reports Wales Online.

Darren Whitby, the head of incidents at the Food Standards Agency, commented: "Sandwich manufacturers are taking a precautionary measure to recall various sandwiches wraps and salads in response to findings from investigations by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), Food Standards Scotland (FSS), and UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), who are working to identify the cause of an ongoing outbreak caused by shiga toxin-producing E.coli (Stec)."

Wendi Shepherd, a health protection consultant for Public Health Wales, commented at the beginning of June on the surge of shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) cases in Wales: "STEC is a nasty infection and can make people seriously unwell it can be particularly difficult for young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems."

"Public Health Wales is working with our partners across the UK and within Wales to identify the source of this incident. We have given clinical management guidance to healthcare providers across the country."

She also advised: "I would advise anyone who has bloody diarrhoea or severe stomach cramps to seek medical attention. If you are affected you should take care to wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water and clean surfaces thoroughly to prevent transmission of the infection."

"You should also avoid seeing other people or preparing food for them if you experience diarrhoea and vomiting, especially people in hospital or care homes. Do not return to work, school, nursery, or similar settings until 48 hours after your symptoms have stopped."
