A Food Standards Agency spokesman, said: “If you have bought any of the above products do not use them.

“Instead, return them to the store from where they were bought for a full refund.”

The Food Standards Agency gave guidance on the risks of contracting the bacterial disease: “Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause illness in humans and animals.

“The product could therefore carry a potential risk because of the presence of salmonella, either through direct handling of the pet food, or indirectly, for example from pet feeding bowls, utensils or contact with the faeces of animals.

“In humans, symptoms caused by salmonella usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. Infected animals may not necessarily display signs of illness, but symptoms can include diarrhoea.”
