Officials warned that salmonella infection can cause serious illness with symptoms including fever, diarrhoea, and abdominal cramps.
Anyone experiencing these symptoms should take precautions to prevent spreading the infection to others.
“If you are experiencing these symptoms, you should stay away from work, school, or nursery until you have stopped having symptoms for at least 48 hours to avoid passing it on to others,” the FSA advised.
The contamination poses a particular risk to vulnerable groups, including young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems.

The recall comes as crackers sold across England were deemed unsafe for some consumers.
Officials warned that they pose a severe health risk that could be life-threatening.
To ensure your safety, food and product recalls must always be taken seriously.
The FSA explained: “If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).
“The FSA issues Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.
“In some cases, a ‘Food Alert for Action’ is issued. This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.”
