Supermarkets have recalled a number of products amid safety fears this week. When a product is recalled the Food Safety Agency (FSA) informs customers on what they should do if they have bought the item, as well as detailed reasoning on why the product is being pulled from shelves, fridges or freezers.
Iceland, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Waitrose have recalled items in recent weeks, with customers warned not to eat them and return them to the store for a full refund. You do not need to have your receipt to get your money back.
