Asda, Lidl and Sainsbury’s issue urgent ‘do not eat’ warnings as chocolate, popcorn, fudge and ready meals recalled
UK supermarkets are recalling a number of food products due to safety fears, with a “do not eat” warning issued.
Some of the items, which are sold at retailers including Asda, Lidl and Sainsbury’s, could pose health risks if consumed. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has asked shoppers to return the affected goods as soon as possible.
Some of them could contain small pieces of plastic, Salmonella or allergy ingredients including milk and gluten which are not listed on the label. Among the latest products being withdrawn from the shelves are chocolate, cheese popcorn, fudge and ready meals.
