Sainsbury's recalls own-brand hummus over potentially deadly E.coli warning
Sainsbury's recalled two houmous products as a precaution after the Food Standards Agency warned they may contain Shiga toxin-producing E.coli, which can cause severe illness and kidney failure.
- Sainsbury's recalled two own-brand houmous products on September 13 and 14, 2025, due to potential E.coli contamination in UK stores.
- The Food Standards Agency issued an alert after identifying a risk of Shiga toxin-producing E.coli in the JS Classic and Lemon & Coriander houmous batches.
- Sainsbury's advised customers not to consume the affected batches, identified by use-by dates and batch codes, and to return them for a full refund.
- An FSA spokesman stated that STEC can cause symptoms including diarrhoea, stomach cramps, and haemolytic uraemic syndrome, which may lead to kidney failure or be fatal.
- The recall prompted point-of-sale notices in stores until October 3, 2025, aiming to protect consumers and allow safe product returns with refunds.
