Canberrans urged to avoid recalled supermarket products

Customers are being urged not to consume a range of alfalfa sprouts after a national recall of several supermarket products. Those who may have eaten the products should be alert for symptoms of salmonella, health authorities say. The following products have been recalled: The products were sold at Woolworths and Coles supermarkets in the ACT, NSW, Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and the Northern Territory. They were also available at independent grocers, including IGA in NSW, Harris Farm Markets in NSW, the ACT and Victoria, Sydney Markets in NSW, and Melbourne Markets in Victoria. Products with use-by dates up to and including November 20, 2025, are part of the recall. Food Standards Australia New Zealand has warned customers not to eat the product. "Consumers should return the product(s) to the place of purchase for a full refund," the authority said. Anyone who is concerned about their health should seek medical advice. The ACT government also urged consumers who have eaten the products to monitor for symptoms of salmonella. These may include headache, fever, stomach cramps, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting. Symptoms typically begin six to 72 hours after exposure to the bacteria and can persist for up to seven days, the ACT government said.
