Aldi and Tesco have told shoppers to wash their fruit and veg following concerns they have been affected by dust. The supermarket giants said the orange dust which hit the headlines last month could have landed on some of their produce.
They advised shoppers to wash their fruit and vegetables before eating following dust from the Sahara covering huge areas of Europe. However for some people it might be unclear just how to make sure the food is treated correctly.
According to the Food Standards Agency website all similar produce should always be washed ahead of it being eaten - not just those affected by the Sah. It says this will ensure it is not only clean but safe.
