The dreaded task of Christmas food shopping is over for another year as supermarkets have closed ahead of Christmas Day. Fridges and cupboards will be packed full of treats and drinks ready for the big day. It is worth a final check to ensure the contents of your kitchen do not consist of anything that has been recalled.
Products are regularly recalled from supermarkets by the Food Standards Agency. Sometimes there will be a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold. Then it might be taken off the shelves or recalled, when customers are asked to return the product.
Under some circumstances, foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk. FSA work closely with local authorities and the food industry to publish alerts to consumers when food products are recalled.
We have rounded up the latest product recalls and what shoppers should do if they are in possession of an affected product. You can see further details below:
