Salmonella warning: Iceland urgently recalls sweet treat - latest food recalls REVEALED
SALMONELLA fears have caused Iceland to urgently recall on its sweet treat products - its Chocolate Cornflake Cluster Mini Bites. The latest food recalls have been revealed, including products from Waitrose and Asda.
Salmonella bacteria explained and how to prevent it
Salmonella concerns have caused UK supermarket Iceland to urgently recall a sweet treat item.
The recall was initially made by CSM Bakery Solutions due to salmonella fears.
Chocolate Cornflake Cluster Mini Bites were recalled over fears the product might contain salmonella.
CSM Bakery Solutions took the steps to recall one batch of its 18 Chocolate Cornflake Mini Bites.

Other warnings have been issued by Asda and Waitrose who have recalled some of their products due to concerns that they could cause a severe reaction to someone with allergies.
The products recalled include The Grocer Ltd spinach & broccoli soup and Waitrose Normandy pork casserole.
This is due to undeclared milk in the products, which could lead to a severe allergic reaction.
Other recalls over allergy concerns include Asda frozen mashed potato, recalled due to undeclared gluten.
Espresso Warehouse recalled two Wooden Spoon products also over allergy concerns.
They are the gluten-free chocolate & pear biscuits and lemon melt biscuits because they contain undeclared soya, milk and gluten.
What is salmonella?
Salmonella bacteria live in the intestinal tract of humans and animals and are excreted in faeces.
The bacteria is usually found in raw meats, eggs and contaminated dairy foods, and sometimes fruits or vegetables.
Salmonella poisoning can lead to diarrhoea, severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, with symptoms usually lasting between four and seven days.
In most cases salmonella poisoning is treatable, and just requires lots of hydration.
