Tesco’s Recall of Grape and Berry Medley

Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause serious health issues. Symptoms of this infection typically include fever, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. If individuals experience these symptoms, they should avoid work, school, or nursery until at least 48 hours after symptoms cease. This precaution helps prevent the spread of the infection to others.

Consumer Advisory

• If you have purchased the Grape and Berry Medley, do not consume it.
• Return the product to the store for a full refund.
• Only this specific product is impacted; no other Tesco items are affected.

Customers are encouraged to stay informed and follow safety guidelines to ensure their well-being. El-Balad will continue to update consumers on this issue as more information becomes available.
