Sainsbury's has issued an urgent recall for its own-brand houmous over fears it may contain E. coli.

The items include tubs of JS Classic Houmous with a use-by date of September 13 and packets of JS Lemon & Coriander Houmous dated September 14.

It said these were being recalled as a precautionary step.

The Food Standards Agency said the affected batches could contain shiga toxin-producing E.coli (Stec).

Sainsbury's apologised to customers for any inconvenience and advised them not to eat the affected products.
