Sainsbury’s is taking the precautionary action of recalling its Taste the Difference Medjool dates because they might be contaminated with Hepatitis A.
The recall, issued last night (Tuesday), relates to the supermarket’s Medjool dates with any best before date.
| Taste the Difference Medjool dates | |
|---|---|
| Pack size | 200g and 500g |
| Best before | All dates |
Sainsbury’s operate stores in Newport, Cowes, Ryde, Sandown and Freshwater.
Symptoms caused by Hepatitis A usually include fever, nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, dark-coloured urine and jaundice – a yellowing of the skin.
If you have bought these products do not eat them. Instead, return them to the store from where they were bought for a full refund.
So much for the cheap foods being dodgy theory – these things cost £5 a pack! Best stick to those ones that say “Eat Me” on the pack, and only at Xmas.
