The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is advising people not to consume specific jars of Loyd Grossman Korma sauce. This is because of the risk of botulism poisoning.

Only one jar from the batch is known to have been contaminated with the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, which causes botulism, but the agency is advising people not to eat products from this batch as a precautionary measure.

The affected batch is:

  • 350g jars of Loyd Grossman Korma sauce with a ‘best before’ date of February 2013.
  • The sauce has a batch code of: 1218R 07:21.

Two members of the same family who have contracted botulism and have eaten from a jar of this batch of sauce have been hospitalised in Scotland.
