It's time to check those kitchens again after a number of safety warnings were issued about food from supermarkets.
Tesco, Waitrose and Iceland have recalled a number of items in recent weeks, with customers urged not to eat them but instead return them to store for a full refund. You do not need to have your receipt to get your money back.
When a product is recalled, for any reason, the Food Safety Agency (FSA) shares details on what you should do if you have bought the item, as well as detailed information on why the product is being pulled from shelves.

A number of products have been recalled in recent weeks, with some having used by dates as far as January 2024. With that in mind, it could be worth checking your kitchen cupboards, fridge and freezer to see if you have any of the items.
Here are some of the latest product recalls from Tesco, Iceland and Waitrose.
Tesco
Tesco has recalled a batch of Trewithen Dairy's unsalted butter due to high levels of bacteria. A Facebook post from Tesco said: "As a precaution, Trewithen Dairy is recalling one batch code of its unsalted butter, as it’s been found to contain high levels of E. coli."
Anyone who has bought the item is advised "please don’t eat it". The butter can be returned to any Tesco store where a full refund will be given - even without a receipt.
The affected batch is Trewithen Dairy Unsalted Butter 250G, with a best before date of May 23, 2022. The batch code is G2 073 and no other Trewithen Dairy products are known to be affected.
Iceland
Iceland is recalling its Takeaway Chicken Bhuna because it contains milk that is not declared on the label. As a result of a packaging error, some packs may contain Iceland Takeaway Creamy Butter Chicken.
This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents. Affected packs will have a best before date of January 26, 2024.
