Contamination alert over salmon products

worldtraveller

Ten major food stores have withdrawn nearly 50 salmon products from sale because of contamination fears.

The salmon's supplier, Marine Harvest, said it believed the fish had been contaminated by leaked diesel from a boat that take catches for processing.

The fish went to supermarkets including the "big four" of Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said the salmon may taste unpleasant, but is very unlikely to pose a risk to health.

The fish, some of which was processed by a second firm, Young's Seafood, also went to Booths, Budgens, Co-op, Nisa-Today, ShopRite and Somerfield.
