Salmonella
Salmonella strikes again. Only last summer, here in the UK, Cadbury was forced to recall a million chocolate bars due to traces of salmonella being found in some of its products.
In November of last year the FSA issued a warning concerning imported eggs.
Now, supermarkets across the country have taken houmous off the shelves after salmonella was discovered in two varieties during routine tests.
