Popular snack urgently recalled over fears it could be contaminated with E.coli
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.

'I tried storing potatoes with one fruit and the hack actually worked'
Potatoes seem to have a mind of their own - they sprout into something resembling a shuffling cordyceps undead in a flash. But one food storage trick ensures they last longer It's one of life's minor irritations - you've finally summoned the energy to cook a proper meal after a long day, rather than just ordering a takeaway, but when you open the cupboards everything's... gone a bit pear-shaped. Potatoes, in particular, seem to despise being fresh and ready to eat. Neglect them for just a few days, and you could find yourself with a bag full of alien-like tuber horrors sprouting into something that resembles a shuffling cordyceps undead from The Last of Us. Especially in hot summer weather like the conditions we're currently experiencing this August, it can feel like food spoils almost instantly in the warm confines of a British kitchen. Reporter Alex Evans has dug into a potato-preserving hack foodies swear by. It's said to work particularly well in the summer months. It comes after UK households issued warning if they have Nescafé coffee in kitchen. Since I spend my day writing about food storage hacks (it's a living), I decided to put a quite popular potato storage hack to the test - storing your potatoes with apples, writes Alex. According to food storage experts (yes, they exist), keeping potatoes in the fridge with apples will prevent them from going off for 'three times longer' than if they're stored without apples in a cupboard, reports the Express. The science behind it is apparently due to ethylene gas produced by the apples in the fridge. This chemical is released by the fruit as part of its typical ripening process, which is slowed by the colder temperature, in turn keeping the potatoes fresh for longer, too, say the boffins. This same chemical can be used to delay the sprouting of potatoes because it inhibits the metabolism of enzymes in the starch of the spud. I dutifully purchased two standard 1KG bags of spuds from Asda, along with a pack of Golden Delicious apples. One bag had an apple popped in it and was then tucked away in the crisper drawer of the fridge. The other was stashed in a dark cupboard in one corner of the kitchen, sans apple. I kept putting off writing this article for weeks on end, simply because the trick was working too well. Every few days, I'd check, and everything looked the same for the fridge potatoes, while the cupboard ones also seemed fine, until suddenly, they weren't. So, does storing your spuds with apples really make them last longer? Two weeks later: the cupboard potatoes without apples are completely inedible, covered in sprouts and rotting. I've been known to chop off the odd growth and carry on, but these are beyond salvageable. They're grotesquely sprouting into some alien lifeform. The fridge potatoes look as good as the day I bought them; they're flawless, pristine, and still fully edible. In fact, the apple has sacrificed itself to protect its earthy mates because it's shrivelled and starting to rot. But the potatoes are perfectly edible—in fact, with the added chill of the fridge, I'm not sure they're ever going to spoil; it almost works too well. So yes: apples really DO save your spuds - and your fridge even more so. Note: No food will be wasted for science. The rotten potatoes will be chopped up for compost, and the poorly apples will be sliced up for the birds.

Billie Faiers diagnosed with devastating health condition after months of ‘horrendous' symptoms
It took weeks for the doctors to figure out what was wrong with Billie Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BILLIE Faiers has been diagnosed with a devastating health condition, after months of 'horrendous' symptoms.

I would have to crawl, going to the toilet, I was in bits, I was hysterical, crying, because I was in so much pain.' Billie continued to tell the Mirror: ' It was hard for me to sit on the toilet without Greg helping me. It was so scary. ''I had so many blood tests but no one could figure it out. One doctor said she'd never seen anything like it. It was frustrating. This went on for about two months before we learnt it was Lyme.' It took weeks for the doctors to figure out what was wrong with Billie, before coming to the conclusion that she was likely bitten by an infected tick as many as three years ago. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection spread to humans by infected ticks - tiny, spider-like creatures that live in grassy or wooded areas. The first symptom of the illness tends to be a red, bulls-eye ring around the bite. But people bitten by bacteria-laden ticks can be struck with debilitating symptoms days or months afterwards. These can include severe headaches, joint pain shooting pains or tingling in the hands or feet, and episodes of dizziness. A number of celebs have spoken out about suffering from the disease - from Bella Hadid and her mum Yolanda, to Justin Bieber, Miranda Hart and Ben Stiller. Billie Faiers under fire from Family Diaries viewers for filming distressing scenes of her dad before rehab Billie continued to tell the publication that her body didn't respond to the antibiotics she was prescribed. She added: 'I was so unwell. It was only after [My sister] Sam introduced me to a holistic doctor and I started taking natural medicines that I started to notice a difference and things slowly began to turn around.' 4 A number of celebs, including Justin Timberlake, have spoken out about suffering from the disease Credit: Getty

Major UK supermarket with 300 stores urgently recalls popular ready meal over dangerous health risk
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAJOR UK supermarket with 300 stores has urgently recalled a popular ready meal over a dangerous health risk. Farmfoods issued a warning over the Indian-inspired takeaway meal because of allergy fears. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Farmfoods has recalled its Ultimate Keralan Chicken Curry meal Credit: Farmfoods Farmfoods is recalling its Farmfoods Ultimate Keralan Chicken Curry because it contains prawns which are not mentioned on the label. The product contains crustaceans (prawns) which are not mentioned on the packing. Farmfoods said it poses a "potential health risk" to "individuals with seafood allergies or intolerances". The recall covers food with the product code L550 in a 400g pack and a best before date of February 13 2026. Shoppers are being asked to return the affected items to their nearest store, where a full refund will be provided. No receipt is needed for you to return the pack. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) added: "For further information, please contact Farmfoods customer services on 0121 700 7160." Farmfoods said in its warning notice: "It has come to our attention that a limited quantity of our 400g Farmfoods Keralan Chicken Curry (product code L550) with 13/02/2026 best-before date were mistakenly produced with prawns. "This ingredient is not declared on the product label, posing a potential health risk to individuals with seafood allergies or intolerances. "If you have this product and have any type of seafood allergy or intolerance, please do not consume the product. Viral 'Dubai-style' chocolate is pulled from UK supermarket shelves over dangerous health risk "Please return the affected product to the store where the product was purchased for a full refund. No receipt is required. "We take consumer safety very seriously and sincerely apologise to our loyal customers for this situation and any inconvenience it may have caused. The best before date is shown on the bottom right corner of the front of pack." The FSA says more than 30 per cent of adults report some types of adverse reactions when eating food. Around 6 per cent of the UK adult population is estimated to have a clinically confirmed food allergy. This equates to around 2.4 million adults in the UK. It comes after a Dubai-style chocolate was pulled from supermarket shelves across the UK, after being found to pose a dangerous health risk. A food alert has been issued to consumers and food businesses warning of the possible health risks the chocolate products present. Dubai-style chocolate products that have been purchased from certain manufacturers were the subject of the recall. Last month, the Food Standards Agency issued a similar warning about the Neosis Schokolade Love of Dubai chocolate too, due to it containing peanuts. Shops were told to immediately stop sales of the product, as this was not mentioned on the label.
