Recall warnings at Waitrose, Tesco, Sainsbury’s & Morrisons

by David Jones

These warnings follow the recall of several products sold nationwide due to possible health risks.

The Food Standards Agency has issued multiple “do not eat” notices covering items available in major supermarkets.

Customers who may have purchased any of the affected products are advised not to consume them.

Officials recommend that anyone who has bought these items follow the recall instructions, which may involve returning them for a refund or disposing of them safely.



Drink recall

Dalston’s Soda Company has recalled one of its fizzy drinks due to concerns that the cans may break unexpectedly following a “packaging defect”.

The drinks company is recalling its Pineapple Soda cans, both single cans and multi-packs, as “there is a risk that the cans may unexpectedly break apart and leave sharp edges which may cause injury.”

The affected Dalston’s Pineapple Soda single cans are 330ml cans with the 037130 batch code and best before date of August 4, 2027 while the affected Dalston’s Pineapple Soda multipack contains four 330ml cans with the 037129 batch code and the same best before date.

You can find the best before date on the base of the cans, which can be bought at Waitrose.

Dalston’s has issued this recall, which is England and Scotland specific, and warned customers “do not try and open it” and “do not drink it”.

Customers should also not return the product to a store with Dalston’s instead advising: “Do not return it to the store, instead, avoid any unnecessary handling of the product and safely dispose of it in an external waste bin.”

Dalston’s added that it would be best to dispose of the cans “upright, in a sealed bag”.

The company will give customers affected by the recall a full refund with no receipt needed, if they get in touch by email (recall@dalstons.com), phone – 07495169638 or via the website.

It reassured customers that no other Dalston’s products or batch codes are affected by this recall.

Dalston’s apologised “for the inconvenience” and thanked customers for their understanding.

Chocolate recall

A chocolate bar has been recalled from UK stores because it may pose a “health risk” for some customers.

Gü recall

Shoppers at Tesco and Waitrose have been issued a “do not eat” warning after a Gü dessert was recalled.

“We have taken proactive steps to further mitigate the issue, including strengthened allergen and packing controls within production.

“We believe the majority of consumers who purchased the affected products will already have been contacted or notified.”

What is a product recall?

If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might 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 let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.

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.
