The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said the recall includes both porridge pots and sachet products because it’s thought there could be mouse contamination at the manufacturing site, making them “unsafe to eat”.
In the updated recall, the FSA notes: “This update extends the recall to all products with a best before date between 24 April 2026 and 12 March 2027 and removes the 8 pack size for the MOMA Almond Butter & Salted Caramel Porridge Pot 55g that was included in error on the original notice.”
The porridge products are sold at UK supermarkets such as Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s.
The FSA has warned consumers “do not eat” the affected products and instead return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund.

What is a product recall?
If a food product has a problem that makes it unsellable, it may be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).
The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to inform consumers and local authorities about food safety issues.

In some cases, a ‘Food Alert for Action’ is issued.
This provides local authorities with details of specific actions to be taken on behalf of consumers.
