      This is 1 week+ after the announcement. Not sure the sandwiches would have lasted.

    2. > a certain variety of salad leaf

      What is/was the leaf type though?

      I don’t understand why we’re left guessing over such an important fact? The public has a right to know.

      Literally ate one of the sandwiches on the list from Morrisons today. Why was it still on the shelf?

    4. Note the supplier has indicated that they haven’t found any e coli, which means that it’s one of their supplier (presumably lettuce) who had the outbreak and they can’t rule out none of the contaminated supply got into their supply chain even though they haven’t found any E. coli.

    5. Takes so long for them to go into specifics the product concerned will have finished its life cycle on shelf/been consumed already
