The Food Standards Agency said: "AB World Foods Ltd is recalling Al’Fez Natural Tahini because salmonella has been found in the product.

"This product recall has been extended to include more ‘best before end’ dates and an additional pack size. This replaces the previous alert.

"Salmonella has been found in the product listed above. Symptoms caused by salmonella usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps."

Manufacturers Al'Fez added: "If you have one of the products detailed above, please return it to the store for a full refund. You do not need a receipt.

"If you purchased it online, contact the Al'Fez consumer care team on (UK) 0800 0195 617, (ROI) 0044 800 0195 617 or at consumer.services@abworldfoods.com."

The cupboard staple was sold in many UK supermarkets. Sainsbury's shared an update for customers.

It said: "Al’Fez is taking the precautionary step of recalling the above date codes of 160 gram jars of Tahini sold in stores across the UK. The decision has been taken due to a risk of a possible presence of salmonella.

"No other Al’Fez products, date codes or best before dates are affected. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused."

Supermarkets Tesco and Morrisons have also shared the warning with customers and stated they can return the products to stores for a full refund.

A food recall is shared when a product may pose a health or safety risk to consumers. Marks & Spencer has an ongoing warning for sweet treats sold in stores.
