Shoppers are being advised to inspect their kitchen appliances and cupboards following the recall of several items from UK supermarkets. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) withdraws products for various reasons, including when items contain allergens that aren’t disclosed on the packaging or if a problem is identified with the product.
When a product is withdrawn, for any reason, the FSA publishes details on what you should do if you’ve purchased the item, along with comprehensive information on why the product has been removed from sale. Amongst the latest product withdrawals are desserts, snacks and air fryers, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Customers are typically advised to return the product to the shop and receive a full refund, with no receipt required. We’ve compiled the recent product recalls from supermarkets.
