Lambs lettuce recalled

Friday 20 April 2007

The Food Standards Agency has today been informed that Soleco UK Ltd is recalling lambs lettuce from sale because of possible salmonella contamination.

The affected batches are Florette 100% Lambs Lettuce with use by dates of 19/04, 20/04 and 21/04 inclusive.

Florette's brand is sold through a number of retail outlets in the UK. No other batches or products are known to be affected.

Soleco UK Ltd is implementing a full product recall of the affected batches and point-of-sale notices will be appearing in relevant stores.

Salmonella can cause diarrhoea and sickness. People who have already bought any of the potentially affected products should throw them away and take the packaging to their retailer.

A full distribution list will appear on the company's website.
