Fruit packs sold at six UK retailers recalled over salmonella fears

Prepworld has recalled 13 packaged fruit products sold through Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and M&S after testing identified salmonella in the apple-and-kiwi packs.

Customers have been told not to eat the products and to return them to the store for a refund. Retail notices have been posted in stores to alert shoppers.

What was recalled

The recall covers 13 fruit packs containing apple and kiwi. The products were sold through six major UK supermarket chains: Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and M&S.

The recall was first reported on June 24, 2026, with later coverage confirming the supplier and the full 13-product framing.

What shoppers should do

Anyone who has bought one of the affected packs should not consume it. Customers are being advised to return the fruit to the store for a refund, even without a receipt, according to retailer notices reported in the coverage.

Salmonella can cause fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. Anyone who becomes unwell after eating the recalled fruit should seek medical advice.

Why it matters

Food recalls involving ready-to-eat fruit are treated as public-health alerts because the product may be eaten without further cooking. The recall also has immediate consequences for retailers, who must remove stock, post warning notices and handle refunds.

Further updates may follow if the product list expands, batch details are clarified or any illness reports emerge.
