Supermarket giant Sainsbury's has apologised for not meeting hygiene standards, after a customer raised salmonella concerns over dirty shelves holding raw chicken at a Stevenage store.
The worried customer was shocked at the filthy shelves when he visited Sainsbury's Coreys Mill.
He said: "I believe that there is a serious risk of salmonella from these dirty shelves.
"Having visited the supermarket last weekend, no cleaning has taken place.
"Having come back a few days later, the shelves were the same condition - nasty and potentially dangerous."
The Comet contacted Sainsbury's about the hygiene concern and a spokesperson said: "Our stores have strict hygiene rules, where our display units are inspected and cleaned regularly. We are sorry that these usual high standards were not met in this instance."
