Warning: Aldi, M&S, Sainsbury's, Tesco, and more recall chicken products over salmonella fears - here are your refund rights

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.
