Natco Foods Limited, a UK Asian food brand, has recalled a batch of its fennel seed products due to the presence of salmonella, according to TalkingRetail.com.

The Food Standards Agency has issued a food alert on 20 x 400g and 6 x 1kg pack sizes of Natco Fennel Seeds with expiry date of December 2009 (batch code: 4538).

No other Natco Foods products or batch codes are known to be affected.

This news comes just days after Tesco and Waitrose announced the recall of thousands of tubs of their own-brand houmous products, which were also found to contain salmonella.
