Food recall over salmonella scare

The seven named products should not be consumed

Supermarket Waitrose has recalled seven of its chicken products because of a salmonella scare.

The supermarket said it was taking the "precautionary measure" after routine tests had shown the possible presence of the bacteria in one product.

The supermarket stressed the "unconfirmed presence" had been found in one 200g pack of Waitrose Roast Chicken Sweet Chilli Mini Fillets.

It has listed seven chicken products which should be returned to stores.
