Food recall: Supermarkets issue urgent food recall amid salmonella and allergy fears

A food recall notice is not to be ignored, as they are often for products that could pose a serious health risk, such as causing an allergic reaction. In the last 24 hours, foods that have been sold in many supermarkets and smaller stores including Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Ocado, Spar and Holland and Barrett have been recalled due to safety fears. The products have been found to be potentially unsafe to eat as they may contain salmonella, while others could be a danger to those with allergies. 

The muesli product is sold in many shops including Amazon, Holland & Barrett, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and Ocado.

The recall applies to the 500g bag of muesli with specific best before dates. 

The affected packs will have a best before date of:

July 20, 2021

July 21, 2021

June 12, 2021

June 24, 2021

Customers should check whether they have the affected packs with the above dates. 

Rude Health has advised customers not to eat the product, and instead to return the product to the store for a full refund. 

You can return it with or without a receipt, and you can also contact [email protected] for further guidance. 

Spar

Spar is also recalling a food item due to fears of a serious allergy risk. 

The store is recalling its SPAR Chicken and Prawn paella because it contains fish, molluscs, milk and wheat (gluten), which are not mentioned on the label. 

This means it could be a danger to those with allergies or intolerances to fish, molluscs, milk or milk constituents, or wheat (gluten).

The affected packs are 600g with a lot number of 0105, and have a best before date of October 13, 2021.

Spar has notified the relevant allergy organisations to help spread the word to those who may be most affected. 

The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers in store to explain the risk.

Customers are advised not to eat the product and to contact the store they purchased it from for a full refund. 

No other Spar products are affected by the product recall.
