A popular snack sold in the grape tree is urgently recalled Anxiety can be infected with a potentially deadly bacteria linked to colon cancer.
The health food store stuck a ‘do not eat’ alert on batches of his raw unsalted Macadamia notes.
It is feared that the sweet snack can contain traces of a rare tension of the diarrhea-causing bug E.coli.
Known as Shiga-Toxin-Producing E. Coli (STEC), the pathogen typically also causes a fever. In most cases, symptoms fade naturally within a few days.
For vulnerable populations, however, the infection can get into the blood and travel to the organs, which causes catastrophic damage.
Last month, Shock research also suggested that E.coli – including stec strains – is due disruptive rise in the cases of colon cancer in less than 50s.
Grape Tree said that the recall only influenced his 250 g package of the notes, which have a best before the date of 11 July 2026 and the Batchcode G41 5 101 250610.
The retailer added: ‘If you have bought Grape Tree RAW unsalted Macadamia notes 250 g, she doesn’t eat.

Symptoms of shiga-toxin-producing E.coli include serious diarrhea and vomiting, according to the British health security agency
“Instead, check whether you bought the affected batch code and send the product to the store for a full refund, with or without a receipt.”
The Food Standards Agency (FSA), which published De Alert, remembers problems when problems are noticed with food that means that it should not be sold.
It also said: ‘Point of Sale knowledge will be displayed in stores where the product was sold.
‘These notifications explain to customers why the product is recalled and tell them what to do when they have bought the product.
“Send an e -mail to info@grapetree.co.uk for more information.”
STEC can be spread by touching infected animals or their faeces directly, as well as in direct contact with the waste of infected people, for example in the case of caregivers who take care of older people.
It can also be spread by contaminated water, either by drinking devised stocks or accidentally taking it while swimming.
Last year more than 60 Sandwiches, Wraps and Salades sold in 11 large stores in the UK were beaten with ‘non -eating’ reports They could contain Stec about the fears.

The outbreak disease 288 patients, caused nine cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a life -threatening condition that can lead to kidney failure And two dead.
Most people who are sick with the bug get better without NHS care within a week, although the symptoms can take up to fourteen days.
Health officials say that taking antibiotics and antidiarrheal medicines is not generally recommended for STEC.
This is due to the potential to increase the risk of suffering complications such as HUS, because the impact of the drugs on the bacteria can lead to an increased structure of toxins.
A small part of the adults who contract Stec can develop a similar condition, thrombotic thrombocytopaenic purpura (TTP).
But the increased distribution of the bug is also concerned about experts after the investigation was published last month, suggested that E.Coli – including STEC tribes – could be linked to an increase in the cases of colon cancer.
American scientists analyzed the DNA of 981 colon cancer tumors in patients younger than 40 or older than 70, in 11 countries.
Experts found traces of colibactin, a toxin linked by cancer that is produced by certain tribes such as non-0157 STEC, which are lurking in tumors of patients under 40.
In response to the research, scientists acknowledged that it was ‘strong’ and ‘good quality research’, but noted that long -term studies were followed that were necessary to keep the effects of colibactin necessary first.
