Customers are being urged to check their kitchen appliances and cupboards after a number of items have been recalled from UK supermarkets. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) recalls products for a variety of reasons, including when products contain allergens that are not disclosed on the packaging or if an issue is detected with the item.
When a product is recalled, for any reason, the FSA shares details on what you should do if you have bought the item, as well as detailed information on why the item has been pulled from sale. Among the latest product recalls are desserts, snacks and air fryers.
Shoppers are often urged to return the product to store and claim a full refund, no receipt needed. We have rounded up the recent product recalls from supermarkets.
