Trending Dubai-style chocolate pulled from UK supermarket shelves due to 'salmonella risk'
Customers have been advised not to eat the product.
A trending chocolate treat has been pulled from UK supermarket shelves due to potential salmonella contamination.
Symptoms of salmonella infection include fever, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps, and anyone who develops these symptoms should stay at home and avoid school, work or nursery for 48 hours to prevent spreading the infection, while seeking immediate medical advice if symptoms become more severe.
Customers have been warned not to eat the ALYAN Dubai Style Milk Chocolate and return it to stores to receive a full refund.
In a statement, World of Sweets warned: “Salmonella has been detected in ALYAN Dubai Style Milk Chocolate with Pistachio Filling and Knafeh.
“As a precaution, customers who have purchased the affected product should not eat it.”
Shoppers have also been urged to keep the packaging separate from other food items to prevent cross-contamination.
If the affected products were bought directly from World of Sweets, shoppers will able to contact customer support teams online, where they will be advised on “the next steps”.
Point of sales notices will also be on display in all stores that sold the chocolates notifying customers of the recall.
