Supermarkets including Tesco remove chicken products from shelves

Major supermarkets and retailers across the UK have issued an urgent "DO NOT EAT" warning amid food poisoning fears linked to salmonella.

A range of ready-to-eat foods including sandwiches, wraps and salads over food poisoning risks.

We visited some popular lunch spots in Worcester's city centre to see if we could find any chicken sandwiches around. 

M&S had stocked shelves in every sandwich except the ones that would have contained chicken. 

The sandwiches they had run out of were British roast chicken salad, chicken and bacon, roast chicken and stuffing and their 14 piece sandwich selection platter.

Boots on Worcester's High Street is facing a similar problem.

They had no stock of their simply triply sandwich with cheese, chicken.

Greggs was also short of its usual roast chicken salad roll, but was fully stocvked with other sandwiches.

The Tesco on London Road was almost bare of chicken sandwiches but did have just a few left in stock.

However, the Costa situated opposite the Guildhall on Worcester's High Street was fully stocked with no empty shelves at all.

The shortage of chicken sandwiches, wraps and salads is due to "DO NOT EAT" warnings issued to major supermarkets and retailers amid concerns of food poisoning.

There are fears that these foods could be contamintaed with salmonella.

What happens if you get salmonella?

Salmonella infection usually causes diarrhoea, fever and stomach cramps.

Symptoms can begin six hours to six days after infection and can last up to a week.
