\u2018Dr Zak\u2019s Barn Farmed Liquid Egg White\u2019 has been recalled by the Food Standards Agency<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Microbiological testing on a number of batches of the product has indicated contamination with Salmonella bacteria of the same strain as the bacteria causing infection in those affected.<\/p>\n

Since mid-August 2018, 3 cases of salmonella have been confirmed in those who consumed the product and a further 5 cases remain under investigation.<\/p>\n

Dr Nick Phin, Deputy Director, National Infection Service, Public Health England, said:<\/p>\n

\n

Most of those affected have now recovered. However, Salmonella can cause a serious infection in those with weakened immune systems or in vulnerable groups including babies, the elderly or pregnant women.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re aware that the high-protein product may be purchased by people for bodybuilding purposes. Symptoms of a Salmonella infection include diarrhoea, stomach cramps and sometimes vomiting and fever.<\/p>\n

There are simple steps to stop its spread, including cooking food thoroughly, washing fruit and vegetables and washing your hands after using the bathroom.<\/p>\n

Anyone who is concerned about symptoms should contact their GP<\/abbr> or out-of-hours service in the first instance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tina Potter, Head of Incidents at the Food Standards Agency said:<\/p>\n

\n

If you have bought this product please check the details on our recall notices. We\u2019re aware the affected batches could have a use-by date up to February 2019.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re storing the product from the recalled batches at home, do not eat the product, but return it to the store where it was purchased for a full refund.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
