The warnings come after multiple products sold nationwide were recalled over potential health risks.

The Food Standards Agency has issued several “do not eat” notices affecting items stocked across major supermarkets.

Officials say anyone who has bought the products should follow recall guidance, which may include returning items for a refund or disposing of them safely.



Morrisons recall

Morrisons shoppers have been issued a “do not eat” warning after the supermarket recalled one of its pasta dishes.

The Bradford-based supermarket is recalling its Morrisons Coronation Chicken Pasta because some packs may contain Florida Salad.

As a result, the packets may contain milk which is not mentioned on the label, making it a health risk for anyone with an intolerance or allergy.

A spokesman for the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said: “Morrisons is recalling the above product from customers and has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall. 

“The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.

“If you have bought the above product and have an allergy to milk do not eat it. Instead, please return it to the nearest Morrisons store to receive a full refund.”

A Morrisons spokesman added: “Please do not eat this product and return it to your nearest store for a full refund. We do not need a receipt.

“No other products are affected by this issue.

“We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and assure customers of our continuing commitment to the highest standard of product quality and safety.”

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If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).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.
