Morrisons has issued an urgent recall for batches of its budget cashew nuts after discovering that some pouches may contain shards of glass. The supermarket chain warned that the affected product could pose a risk of injury if consumed and advised customers not to eat the nuts.
Details of the Recall
The recall specifically applies to 125g packs of Morrisons Savers Cashews with best before dates in August, September, and October 2026. In a notice published by the Food Standards Agency (FSA), Morrisons stated that 'there is a risk that some packs may contain glass.'
Point-of-sale notices have been displayed in stores to alert shoppers about the recall. Customers who have purchased the affected packs are urged to return them to the store where they were bought for a full refund.
Company Apology and Commitment
Morrisons has apologised for any inconvenience caused and reassured customers that it remains dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of product safety. The supermarket emphasised that no other products are believed to be affected by this issue.
Context of Recent Product Recalls
The Food Standards Agency explained that recalls are issued when a product should not be sold because it may pose a risk to consumers. The agency urged anyone with the affected packs at home not to consume them.
In recent months, UK consumers have witnessed a series of product safety alerts spanning both food and non-food items. Earlier this year, Waitrose recalled bottles of its sparkling and still water after discovering fragments of glass in the products. Beyond food, safety notices have also targeted children's toys over choking hazards and other household items due to safety concerns.
