iStockNuts have been pulled from the shelves of some stores after E. coli was found in a batch.
Grape Tree is recalling its Raw Unsalted Macadamia Nuts because Shiga toxin-producing E. coli has been found in a batch of the product.
Symptoms caused by E. coli organisms include severe diarrhoea (including bloody diarrhoea), abdominal pain, and sometimes haemolytic uremic syndrome, (HUS).
HUS is a serious condition that can lead to kidney failure and can be fatal.
Grape Tree has three stores in Scotland – at Loch Lomond Shores in Alexandria, Eastgate Shopping Centre in Inverness and The Avenue Centre in Newton Mearns.
The recall notice, issued via the Food Standards Agency (FSA), affects 250g pack sizes with batch code G41 5 101 250610 and a best before date of July 11, 2026.
Point of sale notices will be displayed in stores where the product is sold.
Grape Tree is urging customers to check if they purchased the affected batch and not to eat the product.
Instead, customers should return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.
The FSA notice affects England, Scotland and Wales specifically.
