Thursday evening, Sainsburys recalled several products which included the individual bags of Watercress and the mixed bags of Watercress, rocket and spinach. This was after 15 people fell ill from consuming them. After a lot of research if was found out that the products were contaminated with E.coli which is life threatening if left untreated. Now all supermarkets have stopped selling products with watercress in as a precaution.
If you feed your small pet (rabbit, guineapig) watercress, PLEASE STOP. You cannot guarantee that your watercress source has not been affected and so it's best to not buy any/feed your pet any until the food standards agency have confirmed that it is ok to do so.
E.coli is very dangerous and can cause animals to have kidney failure and severe diarrhoea. It can make your pet very ill and may even result in the death of your pet.
Please DO NOT FEED your pet any WATERCRESS PRODUCT. If you have fed your pet any watercress product, go to your vet just to make sure your pet is fine.
