Several major supermarkets, including Tesco, Asda and Iceland, have issued urgent product recalls in recent days, warning shoppers to stop using specific items over allergy risks, possible glass fragments and choking hazards. Customers are urged to inspect their purchases and return affected products to the store where they were bought.
Walkers and Emma curry cubes recalled over undeclared allergens
PepsiCo is recalling Walkers Variety Snacks Sharing Box because the Monster Munch Giants Roast Beef 85g pack contains wheat (gluten) that is not stated on the outer packaging of the sharing box. The multipack is available exclusively at Iceland stores. The affected product is the 655g box (six packs), with batch code 107543 and a best before date of November 21, 2026.
Customers who have purchased this product and have an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten, or have coeliac disease, are advised not to consume it. Instead, they should call the PepsiCo Consumer Care Line on 0800274777 or visit contact.pepsico.com/walkers for a full refund.
Basic Ingredients Ltd is recalling Emma Basic Curry Cubes Japanese Style after it emerged the product may contain milk that is not listed on the label. Packs already displaying a "may contain milk" warning are not affected. The affected product is the 200g pack, with best before dates including December 29, 2026, February 24, 2027, March 18, 2027, May 12, 2027, July 23, 2027, September 14, 2027, October 12, 2027, and March 26, 2028.

Arla protein puddings and beard oil pulled over contamination and safety concerns
Arla Foods Ltd is recalling several Arla Protein Pudding products over concerns they may contain glass. The affected products include the Chocolate flavour (200g) with best before dates of January 11, 18 and 20, 2027, and February 6, 2027; the Salted Caramel flavour (200g) with best before dates of January 21, 23, 31, 2027, and February 2, 2027; and the Vanilla Cookie flavour (200g) with a best before date of January 25, 2027.
Customers who have purchased any of these products with these specific dates should not consume them. They should dispose of them or return them to their nearest stockist, such as Asda, Tesco or Morrisons, for a full refund.
A beard oil sold via Amazon has also been urgently pulled from shelves. The product, brand OLBO (Horace), with barcode 3701154703928 and batch number 373245, poses a potential health risk after it was found that the fragrance concentration breaches safety regulations for leave-on facial products, which could trigger skin irritation. Shoppers are advised to stop using the product immediately and contact the supplier to arrange a refund or replacement.
Child car seats recalled over choking hazard and safety standards
A car seat available at Decathlon has been urgently recalled over a choking hazard it presents to young children, stemming from a detachable safety label on the harness strap. The affected product is the HAMAX Buddy Baby Seat, model code 8591602, item code 4091054, sold between 28.12.2020 and 06.08.2026.
If you have bought this car seat, keep it away from children's reach. Check the shoulder harness strap and, if the textile label displayed in the image is present, remove it by cutting it off entirely from the harness strap. Once the label has been removed, the choking hazard is eliminated and the seat can be safely used again.
The Axkid MiniKid Core car seat has also been recalled after failing to meet the required performance standards outlined under the manufacturer's own safety regulations. It is a belt-installed, extended rear-facing seat suitable for children from newborn up to approximately seven years of age. The product safety number is 2609-0213. Parents and guardians can visit Product Safety Message - Axkid to register for a free replacement, and will need the Car Seat ID, found on the product label underneath the car seat, to complete registration.
