This isn’t the only recall the FSA has had to issue recently, as we reported last week that Lidl shoppers were being warned not to consume a popular breakfast item that may contain “foreign bodies.”
The supermarket’s Harvest Basket Hash Browns were being recalled after it was discovered they “may contain pieces of metal”, with all 750g pack sizes with the batch code 5144L and the best before date of May 24, 2027 affected.
Meanwhile, UK shoppers have also recently been urged to “dispose of” multiple packets of Jolly Ranchers sweets after the FSA confirmed that the beloved US sweets were “not compliant with UK laws.”
Sold in specialised American candy shops, these sweets were found to contain two mineral oils not allowed on the UK market, with one of them being linked to an increase in cancer.
