Urgent salmonella warning to Sainsbury's Asda and Aldi customers who may have bought eggs - Gloucestershire Live

Asda, Aldi and Sainsbury's have issued an urgent warning to shoppers who have recently purchased eggs from their stores.

The Food Standards Agency has issued precautionary advice to shoppers who have purchased a specific batch of British Lion eggs which may be contaminated with salmonella.

Affected eggs can be identified by the batch code and the best before date stamped on the eggshell.

A very small number of the above eggs may be contaminated with salmonella, due to it being found in the environment. The eggshell surface might also be contaminated.
