Product Recall: 'Tapas' brand products'
Following routine testing, Makro Cash & Carry has identified some quality concerns with a small number of products under the ‘Tapas’ range.
Food safety and quality is a business priority at Makro and although we have received no complaints relating to these products, the results from our microbiological testing revealed unsatisfactory traces of harmful bacteria (Listeria Monocytogenes), which could potentially cause illness, hence the precautionary recall.
We are certain the risk is limited to a very small number of products as follows:

All products have been removed from stores and, supported by the company’s comprehensive customer database, Makro has been able to identify all those customers that purchased these products. All have been notified, asked to destroy or remove the products from sale and offered full reimbursement. Retail customers have also been asked to contact their customers where relevant.
In the interests of food safety, quality and customer satisfaction Makro is recalling all of these products purchased after 6 October 2011.
Makro is working closely with the original Spanish producer to identify the cause of this contamination.
Any updated information for customers will be available at www.makro.co.uk or via our helpline 01625 505273 (lines are open Monday to Thursday 8.45am - 5.15pm and Friday 8.45am – 4.45pm)
The FSA is aware of this course of action.
