Tesco, M&S, Waitrose and Sainsbury's have all withdrawn products such as sandwiches and salads from the shelves alongside popular food chains Costa, Pret and Leon.
The mass recall comes as Cranswick food processing plant in East Yorkshire detected salmonella during a "routine internal inspection".
The Food Standards Agency has now advised people to not consume the products with the use by dates of May 11, 12 and 13 after fears they may have been contaminated.
It is not yet clear if anyone has been made ill by the bug, which kicks in between six hours to six days after infection.
Symptoms include diarrhoea, fever, and stomach cramps and in severe cases can cause hospitalisation with around 50 people dying each year in the UK from contracting the illness.

A spokesman for Cranswick said: "As a precautionary measure, we have asked our customers to remove any of their products containing our ready to eat chicken produced during the affected period.
"We are working closely with the Foods Standards Agency and will collaborate with their experts to resolve the matter."
Their factory "will remain closed until the investigations are complete".
