The recalled batches are packaged in white plastic bottles. The batch code is printed on the bottom of the bottles and is the middle seven digits of the code printed above the expiry date.

The affected batches have best-before dates ranging from 03/2027 to 11/2027.

People infected with Salmonella typically develop symptoms between 12 and 36 hours after infection, but this can range between 6 and 72 hours. The most common symptom is diarrhoea, which can sometimes be bloody.

Other symptoms may include fever, headache, and abdominal cramps. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Diarrhoea can occasionally be severe enough to require hospital admission. The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.
