A leading UK supermarket has been forced to recall one of its products because of fears it has been contaminated with Hepatitis A.
Sainsbury's is taking the precautionary action of recalling Taste the Difference Medjool dates because they might be contaminated with Hepatitis A.
The product that is being recalled is Taste the Difference Medjool dates, 200g and 500g packs. All best before dates are being recalled.
The Food Standards Agency have said: "These products might be contaminated with Hepatitis A. Symptoms caused by Hepatitis A usually include fever, nausea, abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, dark-coloured urine and jaundice (a yellowing of the skin)."
Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling these products. These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.
If you have bought these products do not eat them. Instead, return them to the store from where they were bought for a full refund.
