Morrison said in a statement: “We are currently working closely with the authorities and although the full facts are not yet known, we have, as a precautionary measure, withdrawn sliced cold meat products from sale at the delicatessen counters of two stores in Paisley, Scotland (Lonend and Falside Road).
“We advise anyone who has bought sliced cold meat products locally from the delicatessen counters in these two stores not to consume them.”
