Major supermarkets, including Aldi, M&S, Sainsbury's, Tesco, and Waitrose, are recalling a number of chicken products over fears of a salmonella outbreak, with more shops also announcing that they have pulled items from their shelves. We explain your refund rights below.

The move comes after food processing company Cranswick said a routine internal inspection at its plant in Hull, Yorkshire had discovered salmonella - a form of bacteria often found in raw or undercooked meat - in "a limited number of cooked chicken products".

We have a full list below of the products being recalled but first is what you should do if you have bought any of the potentially contaminated items. For more information on getting your money back, see our Consumer rights and protection guide.

You can return any of the recalled products to the retailer for a full refund

If you have any of the products listed below at home, do not eat them. You can return any of the recalled items to the supermarket you bought them from and you will receive a refund, even if you don't have a receipt. 

For any further questions regarding the products, or if you want to complain, you can contact the retailers involved directly:

  • If you have bought an Aldi product, go to its customer services page for more information and for its contact form, or phone the supermarket on 0800 042 0800.

  • If you have questions for Amazon about recalled products, you can contact it by logging into your account and using the customer service button.

  • If you've purchased a Co-op product, you can phone its customer helpline on 0800 0686 727 or email it at customer.careline@coop.co.uk. 

  • You can contact Costa via this contact form if you have bought a recalled product. 

  • If you have bought a Marks & Spencer product, you can call 0333 014 8555 or head to its website and use the online chat service.

  • If you have bought a One Stop product, you can call it on 01543 363 133.

  • If you have bought a Sainsbury’s product, visit the Sainsbury's website for info on how to get in touch, or call the supermarket on 0800 636 262.

  • To contact Shell about its products, you can phone its helpline on 020 7934 1234.

  • If you purchased a Starbucks product and have questions, you can call the customer service helpline on 020 8834 5050.

  • To contact Tesco about a product, you can call the helpline on 0800 505 555.

  • If you've bought a Waitrose product, you can call it on 0800 188 881 and choose option four. 

If you'd like to report a food hygiene problem, you can do so by heading to the Food Standards Agency's website and following the instructions.
