Products sold by major retailers are being recalled this week over health concerns.
The affected items, which include a popular yoghurt brand and vegan alternatives, are currently being removed from shelves as a precautionary measure.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has revealed that the products present a potential safety risk to customers of major chains such as Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's.
The public are being warned not to consume any of the mentioned products, which won't be on sale during the recall.
The FSA instead recommends returning the products to the relevant store - in exchange for a full refund.
So which products are subject to the latest recall? Here's everything you need to know.
Nestlé UK
Nestlé UK Limited has recalled its Nestlé Ski Yogurt Variety Pack With Fruit Pieces due to health concerns.
The product may contain small pieces of black rubber due to an "isolated incident" in their fruit supplier manufacturing process.
The affected items are sold as a 480g pack (4 x 120g) with the following use by date codes:
- 21 February 2020
- 22 February 2020
- 28 February 2020
- 29 February 2020
- 6 March 2020
- 7 March 2020
- 13 March 2020
The recall involves batches of the product that have been sold at retailers including Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco.
Aldi
Similarly, Aldi is recalling some varieties of its own brand yogurt due to the presence of metal.
The affected products are being pulled as a precaution and are as follows:
- Brooklea Fat Free Light Yogurt Single Pot - Strawberry
- Brooklea 6 Pack Light Yogurt - Raspberry & Cranberry, Strawberry
Customers should note that the single pot variety has the best before dates 26 February and 4 March 2020.
The affected multi-pack product however has the best before dates of 20 and 26 February as well as 4 March 2020.
Iceland
This supermarket is recalling one of its own brand products as well, in the form of the Iceland Vegetable Lasagne.
The FSA states that this product may contain pieces of plastic or rubber, and therefore may be unsafe for consumption.
The 500g item has the best before date of 3 August 2021.
Asda
John West is recalling its Sardines in Tomato Sauce (120g) due to suspected bacterial contamination.
This has resulted in a small number of swollen cans and may make the product unsafe to eat.
Whilst sold in several supermarkets, only those sold at Asda are affected by the recall:
- Batch code KX319H with the best before date of June 2022
- Batch code KX326H with the best before date of June 2022
Meat-Free products
A number of meat-free produced by No Meat Limited are being recalled by supermarkets.
No Porkies 6 Meat-Free Sausage Rolls (600g) batches are being removed from shelves in Asda and Iceland because they contain milk which is not mentioned on the label.
The affected products therefore pose a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to milk, with all date codes involved in the recall.
Iceland is further recalling two other No Meat Limited products:
- No Bull Bolognese (350g) - all batch codes and dates
No Porkies Sausages (200g) - all batch codes and dates
Co-Op
The Co-Operative is recalling Gro Sticky Toffee Puddings due to a potential health risk.
The glass ramekins may break when heated in the microwave, it's been revealed - leading to safety concerns.
The 190g product (2 x 95g) is plant-based and all date codes between 19 February and March 19 2020 are affected.
