Multiple Food Recalls Issued by Major UK Supermarkets
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued several "do not eat" notices covering items stocked in Sainsbury's, Tesco, Morrisons, Asda, and Waitrose. Products being pulled from shelves include pasta, crisps, fruit, chutney, and hot cross buns due to potential health risks such as salmonella, undeclared allergens, and metal fragments.
Morrisons Coronation Chicken Pasta Recalled Due to Undeclared Milk
Morrisons has recalled its Coronation Chicken Pasta (230g) because some packs may contain Florida Salad, leading to undeclared milk on the label. This poses a serious health risk to anyone with a milk allergy or intolerance. The affected packs have a use-by date of June 30 and batch code GBB 584 031. Customers are advised not to eat the product and return it to any Morrisons store for a full refund without a receipt.

Morrisons is also recalling its Maple & Bacon Back of the Net crisps (140g packs) with a best-before date of August 22. Due to a packaging error, the crisps may contain undeclared milk.

We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and assure customers of our continuing commitment to the highest standard of product quality and safety."
