John Lewis and Morrisons recall pork scratching due to salmonella fears – ‘do not consume'

John Lewis and Morrisons are the latest stores to recall a food product due to the potential presence of salmonella



Food recalls are issued when a product is unsafe to eat, due to contamination or misbranding. John Lewis and Morrisons have issued a warning on several of their Snaffling Pig products.

Snaffling Pig is a “pork snack-based business”, according to its website.

The Snaffling pig previously recalled its Salted Pork Scratchings, due to traces of Salmonella, sold on Ocado, Amazon, and Morrison’s.

Snaffling Pig Salted Pork Scratchings come in 45g packs, and have a best before date of June 11, 2022.

After concerns of the potential presence of salmonella, even more Snaffling Pig food products have been recalled.

Morrisons has recalled the following products:

Morrisons stated: “Freshers Foods Ltd are recalling a range of products due to the presence of Salmonella, and also taking the precautionary step of recalling other lines due to the risk of Salmonella.

“If you have purchased this product, please do not eat it. Instead, return it to the store you purchased it from for a full refund. All Freshers Foods products undergo rigorous quality and food safety inspections as part of our manufacturing process."

They continued: “We apologise to our customers for any inconvenience that this has caused. Thank you for your understanding. If you require further information, please contact us on enquiries@openshaws.net or on 07968 542 566.”

Common symptoms of salmonella include diarrhoea, fever and stomach cramps, usually beginning six hours to six days after infection, lasting around four to seven days.

However, some do not develop symptoms for several weeks after infection and others experience symptoms for several weeks.

The Awfully Posh Pork Puffs Original were still on the shelf at Morrisons yesterday even though I was told by a checkout girl four days earlier they could no longer be sold!
