'Do not eat' warnings at Waitrose, Tesco and more UK supermarkets this week
Customers are told to return affected items for refunds after recalls over contamination, Salmonella and cans that may rupture unexpectedly.
On Thursday, the Food Standards Agency issued urgent alerts for multiple products sold at retailers including Tesco and Waitrose, prompting immediate removal from store shelves nationwide due to safety concerns.
World of Sweets recalled Dubai Style Crunchy Knafeh, Pistachio Milk Chocolate, and Alyan Dubai Style Chocolate Truffles after Salmonella was discovered in the products, with symptoms including fever and abdominal cramps.
Waitrose recalled its Waitrose Essential Unsweetened Oat Drink due to poor temperature control, which creates risk of microbiological contamination and spoilage; customers should return items for a full refund.
Lucky Saint recalled its 0.5% Hazy IPA after pressurized cans may rupture unexpectedly, presenting physical injury risks; customers must dispose of cans in sealed bags with household waste, not return them to stores.
Retailers are displaying point-of-sale notices explaining specific recall procedures and return options for each affected product, and consumers should verify purchases and follow FSA guidance to ensure safe handling.
