Popular snack urgently recalled over fears it could be contaminated with E.coli
The product, which comes in a pack size 250g, has the batch code G41 5 101 250610 and a best before date of July 11, 2026
A popular snack has been recalled over fears it could be contaminated with E.coli. Grape Tree has pulled its Raw Unsalted Macadamia Nuts because Shiga toxin-producing E.coli was found in one of its batches.
The product that has been recalled has the batch code G41 5 101 250610 and a best before date of July 11, 2026. The pack size is 250g. E.coli infections can cause diarrhea, stomach cramps, vomiting, and fever.
In a recall notice published online, Grape Tree said: 'If you have bought Raw Unsalted Macadamia Nuts 250g as detailed above, do not eat them. Instead, check if you have bought the affected batch code.
'You can do this by taking a picture of this notice or writing down the batch code/best before date for reference at home. Return the product to the store for a full refund (with or without a receipt).'
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) also shared the product recall notice. On the FSA website, it reads: 'Point of sale notices will be displayed in stores where the product was sold.
'These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.' For more information, you can contact Grape Tree on info@grapetree.co.uk.
For all product recalls, you can check the FSA and Chartered Trading Standards Institute websites. You should also notice recall notices in stores if they've pulled a product from shelves.
Other recall notices you should be aware of include Lidl pulling batches of its fruit and nut bars over fears they could contain pieces of plastic. The supermarket has recalled Alesto Raw Fruit and Nut Bars in various flavours.
The recall applies to all stock with a best before date of December 2025 with the batch code L24337, and best before date of November 2025 with the batch code L24316.
Meanwhile, Asda has recalled packs of its own-brand hot and spicy chicken breast slices because of an incorrect use-by date on the packet.
The packs of chicken weigh 160g and are labelled with an incorrect use-by date of May 30, 2025. The product is priced at £2.94 according to the Asda website.
Aldi has also recalled its Inspired Cuisine Baby Potatoes with Herbs and Butter because certain batches of these potatoes contain a packaging error, where milk is not mentioned on the label.
This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents. The potatoes that have been recalled have a use by date of April 12 and the barcode 4061463488152.
Morrisons was also forced to recall its own-brand The Best 6 Thick Cumberland Sausages because they may contain small pieces of blue plastic. The affected product has a pack size of 400g and a use by date of May 1, 2025.

Wales farm visit health warning ahead of Open Farm Sunday
They have issued a warning about the potential health risks associated with farm visits ahead of the national day on Sunday, June 8. Animals, even healthy ones, can harbour diseases capable of causing illness in humans, including diarrhoeal diseases such as Cryptosporidium and E. coli. These infections can trigger symptoms including diarrhoea, vomiting, fever, and stomach cramps, with some strains of E. coli potentially leading to serious complications, such as kidney damage. Certain groups of people – pregnant women, children, elderly people, and those with health conditions affecting their immune system – are at a higher risk of becoming unwell or facing complications from these infections. A recent Cryptosporidium outbreak linked to farm visits resulted in more than 80 confirmed cases. Although most victims made a full recovery within two weeks, some required hospital treatment. Christopher Williams, consultant epidemiologist for Public Health Wales, said: "Infection can be caught from direct contact with animals or touching things that have animal faeces (poo) on them. "The risk of infection can be reduced by strictly following safety advice." He urged visitors to wash their hands with hot water and soap immediately after contact with animals and before leaving the farm. He also advised avoiding close contact with animals, such as cuddling or holding them, and refraining from eating or drinking near animals or while walking through the farm. Mr Williams added: "The bugs can survive on clothes, shoes, and pram wheels after leaving the farm. "So, continue hand hygiene after touching items which could be contaminated until the item has been cleaned. "Any soiled clothes, shoes or other items should be cleaned promptly. "Prepare for visits by wearing sensible footwear, avoiding open toe shoes. "If you get ill after visiting a farm, contact your GP or 111. "Ensure good hygiene to avoid passing infection to others." To further lessen the risk of infection, visitors are encouraged to supervise children closely, ensure they wash their hands correctly, and refrain from eating or drinking near animals or while walking around the farm. Pregnant women should be particularly vigilant and avoid contact with lambing sheep, other animals giving birth, and newborn or baby animals. Individuals who become unwell with a diarrhoeal illness following a farm visit should not return to work, school, or nursery until they have been symptom-free for at least 48 hours.
