A children’s party cake has been withdrawn from sale by Morrisons because it may contain Salmonella.

The supermarket issued a recall on a batch of its Busy Bee cake and will issue a full refund to consumers affected.

The affected batch of the cake – a sponge filled with lemon curd and buttercream, wrapped in green icing and decorated with icing flowers and bees – has a best before date of August 4, 2016.

In a statement, Morrisons said: “Routine testing has identified that a low level of Salmonella may be present in the above product.

“As a precautionary measure, we are asking all customers who have bought this product not to consume it and to return it to their nearest Morrisons store where they will receive a full refund.”
