It might be worth having a rummage through your cupboards and fridges to see if you’ve got any products that have been recalled by the Food Standards Agency.
Food items can be pulled from shelves for various reasons, such as contamination with harmful bacteria like listeria or salmonella that could cause food poisoning.
Additional causes include production errors, like bits of plastic or metal being discovered in the item. Missing or inaccurate allergen details can also trigger an allergen recall.
Food companies are responsible for withdrawing products that pose safety risks.
The Food Standards Agency works hand-in-hand with local councils and the food sector to issue warnings to shoppers when food items are withdrawn.
This week items have been pulled from retail giants Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and TK Maxx outlets. Shoppers are typically advised to take products back to shops and get a complete refund, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Customers are cautioned against consuming or using items that have been withdrawn, for safety purposes.
The most recent product withdrawals and what you need to do if you own a recalled item are listed below:.
Sainsbury’s
This item was withdrawn by Sainsbury’s from its Habitat homeware section. Habitat Seed Pod Bowl Filler has been removed from shelves by the retail giant.
Sainsbury’s is withdrawing the item as it could be “toxic” to people and pets if consumed.
Product name: Habitat Seed Pod Bowl Filler.
Product code: 146383921.
Product description: Ornamental seed pods The supermarket explains on its website: “If you have purchased, please bag and return to store for a full refund. Please do not dispose of in compost heaps, food or garden waste bins.
“We take the quality and safety of our products extremely seriously and would like to apologise to customers affected for any inconvenience this may cause. No other Habitat home products are affected by this recall.”
Sainsbury’s is withdrawing the item because the seeds within the pods are poisonous to both humans and pets if consumed. The exterior casing of the seed pod remains safe to touch.
The item fails to comply with the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
