CUSTOMERS who have purchased frozen mince from Iceland have been advised not to eat it following a salmonella scare.

Iceland has recalled its 454g bags of frozen lamb mince with a best before date of Oct 11, 2012.

This is due to the presence of salmonella in a test sample.

The Food Safety Unit (FSU) of the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture has advised customers not to eat the product and to return it to any Iceland outlet where they will receive a full refund.

Recall notices will be displayed in Iceland stores.

No other Iceland products are known to have been affected.
