Hummus recall 2019 – Aldi, Lidl, Asda and Sainsbury’s recall 82 types of hummus over salmonella fears
MORE than 80 types of hummus from major supermarket stores have been recalled urgently over fears they could be contaminated with salmonella.
It was originally feared 17 products could contain the dangerous bug but now an earlier recall has been widened to 82 items.
Affected products are mostly own-brand varieties of hummus sold by the following retailers: Aldi, Asda, Booker, Iceland, John Lewis, Lidl, Morrisons, Safeway, Sainsbury's, and Spar.
But there are also items sold under brand names The Real Deli and Zorba, as well as the popular Nando's-branded hummus + PERi-PERi Drizzle, which is sold at Asda, Ocado, and Sainsbury's.
See the Food Standards Agency (FSA) website for the or the box below.
The FSA has urged customers to throw away or return the items - made by supplier Zorba Delicacies.
Food poisoning: What are the symptoms of salmonella infection?
SYMPTOMS of food poisoning include:
- feeling sick (nausea)
- diarrhoea
- being sick (vomiting)
- stomach cramps
- a high temperature of 38C or above
- feeling generally unwell – such as feeling tired or having aches and chills
The symptoms usually start within a few days of eating the food that caused the infection.
Sometimes they start after a few hours or not for a few weeks.

If you return the items to the store where you bought them you'll get a full refund.
The government department said: "The products listed might be contaminated with salmonella.
"If you have bought any of the above products do not eat them. Instead, return them to the store from where they were bought for a full refund."
Salmonella infection is among the most common causes of food poisoning.
It can prove particularly dangerous to the elderly and young children.
Among the crippling symptoms of salmonella infection are diarrhoea, stomach cramps, vomiting and fever.
It can take up to 72 hours on average for symptoms to develop after ingesting contaminated food.
Once contracted, debilitating symptoms can last for as long as a week.
Most sufferers recover without medical help, but some serious cases require hospital treatment for dehydration.
In rare cases in vulnerable patients, salmonella poisoning can be fatal.
Salmonella is most commonly spread from raw meat touching cooked food through poor storage.
