Bakkavor houmous products recalled
Friday 16 February 2007



The Agency has been informed that the food manufacturer Bakkavor is recalling a number of houmous products which have been on sale in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

This action is being taken on a precautionary basis after two Marks & Spencer products tested positive for Salmonella.

Salmonella can cause food poisoning and should not be present in ready-to-eat foods.

The products, all manufactured by Bakkavor, which are being recalled are:

Co-op own-brand houmous and flavoured houmous
All date codes up to 28 February 2007

Marks & Spencer own-brand houmous, flavoured houmous and topped houmous
All date codes

Sainsbury’s own brand houmous, flavoured houmous and topped houmous
All date codes up to 28 February 2007

Somerfield own brand houmous and flavoured houmous
All date codes up to 28 February 2007

Tesco own brand houmous, flavoured houmous and topped houmous
All date codes up to 28 February 2007

Waitrose own brand houmous, flavoured houmous and topped houmous
All date codes up to 28 February 2007

All of these products have been removed from sale.

Bakkavor is advising customers who have bought these products not to eat them, but to return them to the store where they bought them for a refund.

Further information about the products being recalled can be found on the Bakkavor Group website
