Tesco is the latest supermarket that has been forced to recall a number of chicken products from their stores amid wide-scale salmonella concerns.

The major recall launched when Cranswick Country Foods alerted customers to traces of salmonella found in a 'limited number' of their chicken products. As a precaution additional products are also being recalled whilst investigations continue.

Cranswick has confirmed that it's now working with the Food Standards Agency to resolve the issue.
