Supermarkets have recalled a number of products amid safety fears this week. When a product is recalled, the Food Safety Agency (FSA) informs customers what they need to do if they have purchased the item, as well as a detailed reasoning as to why the product is being removed from shelves, fridges or freezers.
Iceland, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose have recalled items in recent weeks, and customers have been warned not to eat them and return them to the store for a full refund. You do not need to have your receipt to get your money back.
Popular items from Tesco, Iceland, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose have recently been withdrawn, the Liverpool Echo reported. These are:
