‘Do not eat’ warning issued as major supermarket urgently recalls egg pot enjoyed by millions due to deadly food poisoning risk
Waitrose remembered one of the snack pots ready to eat on his fears that he might be contaminated with Salmonella, a dangerous bacterium known to cause food poisoning.
The affected item are Waitrose and Partners EGG and Spanach Protein Pot, which comes in a 90G plastic bathtub and sold in stores throughout the country.
Between 31 July and 1 August 2025, two groups of warnings are included.
Supermarket pulled the product from the shelves and calls for customers who have already purchased.
Instead, they must return to store for a complete repayment, no receipt is required.
In the stores where the sales point notifications are notified, the risk of shoppers were exchanged.
These explain the reason for recalling and the steps that customers should take if they buy the item.
The spokesman of the Food Standards Agency (FSA), which publishes alarm, said: ‘The presence of Salmonella in this product is a risk for health … And it can be particularly dangerous for the elderly, young children and weak immune systems.’

Salmonella infection, known as salmoneloz, typically develops after consuming dirty foods.
Mild and dissolved within a few days without many cases treatment, while more severe infections can lead to dehydration, hospitalization and rare cases.
People with symptoms are recommended to relax and drink abundant liquid.
Most importantly, public health chiefs say they need to stay away from work, school or nursery at least 48 hours after their symptoms to reduce the risk of spreading bacteria to others.
Product remembering is part of routine food safety controls performed by both manufacturers and regulators.
According to FSA, food can be retracted (removed from the shelves) or a risk for public health (when customers are asked to return the product).
The affected protein pot is one of the few ready -made meals offered by Waitrose for customers looking for a fast, high -protein snack.
Typically, it contains two boiled eggs and spinach leaves and stored in cooled cabinets.

Salmonella caused by food -induced diseases continue to be an important public health concern in the UK.
Although more strict hygiene standards have decreased in recent years, the number of epidemics has been reduced, cases still occur – it is usually related to low -cooked meat, raw eggs or non -washed vegetables.
Standard health guidance to those who get sick from suspicious food poisoning is to get medical advice if symptoms are severe or long.
Nhs recommendation If people will call 999 or start vomiting blood, they have green vomiting, they have a hard neck and pain when looking at bright lights, or they experience sudden, severe headache.
