Multiple major UK supermarkets have issued urgent recalls on a range of products, including pasta, fruit, crisps, nuts, chutney, and hot cross buns, due to potential health risks such as salmonella, undeclared allergens, glass fragments, and metal pieces.
Morrisons Recalls Pasta, Crisps, and Nuts

The supermarket also recalled its Maple & Bacon Back of the Net crisps (140g) with a best-before date of August 22, due to a packaging error that may result in undeclared milk. A Morrisons spokesperson stated: “Please do not eat this product and return it to your nearest store for a full refund. We don't need a receipt. No other products are affected by this issue.”
