The products were sold by a range of high street stores such as Asda, Boots, Morrisons, Co-op, Tesco, OneStop and Aldi.
So far, there have been 211 suspected cases of food poisoning, although experts fear that this figure will rise. 'Do not eat' alerts have been slapped on products made by Greencore, who produce 1.7million sandwiches daily making them the world's largest manufacturer.
A separate warning was also issued for sandwiches made by Samworth Brothers Manton Wood. It is feared some batches sold in 10 different stores could be contaminated with E.coli, including Asda , Amazon, Boots, Morrisons , Sainsbury's , Co-op, Tesco , OneStop, Aldi and The Gym Kitchen.
The bug — which can kill — usually causes a fever, sickness and diarrhoea. Its symptoms typically fade naturally within days. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) have said that the recall was a 'precautionary step'.
