An Aldi spokeswoman said: “Our Specially Selected Tikka King Prawns have been recalled from sale in our stores in Scotland and Berwick-upon-Tweed.

“This is a precautionary measure after testing detected the presence of salmonella in a very small sample of products.

“No other products or stores are affected and we have removed all affected products from our stores.”

The FSS notice added: “Aldi is recalling its Specially Selected Tikka King Prawns, because the product contains salmonella. Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause food poisoning.
