A popular chocolate brand, World of Sweets, has issued an urgent recall for two of its products due to concerns about salmonella contamination. The affected chocolates were previously sold at UK supermarkets and on Amazon, and the recall is in response to the detection of salmonella, a type of bacteria that can cause serious illness. Shoppers are being advised not to consume the products and to return them for a refund. The recalled products are: - Alyan Dubai Style Chocolate Truffles, 120g - Alyan Dubai Style Crunchy Knafeh and Pistachio Milk Chocolate, 100g According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), all products with any best before date are affected. Consumers who bought the chocolates from stores are instructed to return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund. Those who ordered directly from World of Sweets are being asked to contact the company's customer service with their order number and the number of affected items to receive further guidance. Salmonella is a type of bacteria often found in contaminated food such as eggs, meat, dairy, and fresh produce. Infection can lead to a condition called salmonellosis, which typically causes symptoms like diarrhoea, stomach cramps, vomiting, and fever. In rare cases, it can be life-threatening, especially for vulnerable individuals such as young children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. The specific strain of salmonella involved in this recall is S. Enteritidis, the most common type in England. The FSA has warned that symptoms of infection usually include fever, diarrhoea, and abdominal cramps. It also advised those experiencing these symptoms to stay home from work, school, or nursery for at least 48 hours after symptoms stop to avoid spreading the infection. This recall follows a recent outbreak of salmonella linked to imported eggs, which has caused hundreds of illnesses and one death in England this summer. Metro has reached out to Amazon for a response.
