Popular Italian ready meal sold at Morrisons and Tesco recalled due to 'incorrect labelling'

Daily Record08-05-2025
The Food Standards Agency has issued an allergy alert
Tesco and Morrisons shoppers have been warned not to eat a particular ready meal. The product has been found to pose a "possible health risk" after a packaging error.
Giovanni Rana (UK) Ltd has issued a recall for its La Famiglia Rana Slow-Cooked Braised Beef Lasagne after "incorrect labelling". This means that it may contain the Prawn and Lobster Lasagne, making it unsafe for anyone with an allergy to crustaceans.

The Italian food brand offers an assortment of fresh-filled pasta dishes that can be found in many major supermarkets across the UK.

An allergy alert posted to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has explained that this lasagne recall affects 700g pack sizes with the batch code L0B510816 and best before date of June 17, 2025.
Giovanni Rana said in its recall notice: "We are announcing the recall of the product "La Famiglia Rana Slow-Cooked - Braised Beef Lasagne 700g" with batch number L0B510816.
"The recall is due to incorrect labelling of the product, which means that the product may not contain the recipe showed on the pack (Slow-Cooked Braised Beef Lasagne), but prawn and lobster instead.
The affected product is therefore a health risk for anyone with an allergy to crustaceans."
Due to the packaging error, customers with an allergy to crustaceans who have bought the affected product have been urged "do not eat it."

Instead, they can return the product to the store it was bought from for a full refund, even if presented without a receipt.
Customers looking for further information can also contact recall@rana.co.uk.

The Italian food firm added at the end of its recall notice: "We apologise for any inconvenience caused."
The FSA issued issues a variety of alerts when a food product has been "recalled" or "withdrawn" to problems that mean it should not be sold. This could be due to issues incorrect labelling or undeclared ingredients.
This is not the only allergy alert to be posted by the food watchdog, as customers were recently warned that Damasgate Wholesale Sofra Potato Chips Seasoning were found to contain peanuts - an ingredient undeclared on the label.

Customers with an allergy to peanuts have been urged that the recall affects all lot numbers and best before dates of 100g pack sizes.
It came just after the retailer also issued a major recall for all lot numbers and best before dates of 12 of its garlic powders for the same reason, with customers being warned not to consume them due to the potential life-threatening reaction.
In other recall news, supermarket giant Asda recently advised that its own-brand Hot & Spicy Chicken Breast Slices featured the incorrect best before date, with 160g pack sizes with the date May 30, 2025 affected.

Dear Coleen: I'm hurt that my ex found love so quickly after split

According to them, my ex and his new woman are really 'loved up' and the relationship seems serious. Dear Coleen I was with my ex-boyfriend for 10 years and we broke up at Easter. Although it was a mutual decision and for the best, it was still horrible and upsetting, especially when it came to dividing our things and even our two cats. ‌ I cried for weeks afterwards and really missed him, even though I kept telling myself it was the right thing to do, as we'd been drifting apart for a couple of years. ‌ But imagine how I felt when I found out my ex had started dating someone new just three weeks after we broke up – and now they're joined at the hip apparently. ‌ I know they weren't seeing each other while we were together, as they met on a night out with a bunch of our mutual friends. According to them, my ex and his new woman are really 'loved up' and the relationship seems serious. I cannot believe he moved on so fast from me and it feels hurtful, like our relationship meant nothing at all and I meant nothing. I'm feeling insanely jealous and angry. I've been so upset after the break-up I haven't even thought about dating again. Who's being unreasonable – me or him? Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Coleen says I don't think either of you are being unreasonable, you're just handling the breakup in different ways. Some people need to attach themselves to another person to get over their previous relationship. ‌ It's a generalisation but I think men often move on more quickly because they're not great at sitting with their feelings and maybe just need to get out there to confirm they're attractive and can still get dates. But I think a lot of people just hate being on their own. Women are probably more likely to take time to grieve for a relationship and analyse it a lot more. But my advice would be not to let your ego muddy the waters here, obsessing over how he was able to get over you so fast. Breaking up was a joint decision and still the right one, based on what you've said. ‌ It's actually none of your business how quickly he moved on. Maybe his new relationship is a classic rebound, or maybe it will go the distance. Either way, it's not your concern, so focus on what you can do for yourself to move forward. It is hard when you see your ex with someone new, especially if you'd been with that person a long time, but keep reminding yourself it was over for you and you didn't want to be with him any more. Wish him happiness and move on.

I'm abrosexual - it took me 30 years to realise

'When did you decide this? Is this even a label – I've never heard of it. I support you, obviously, but this doesn't sound real.' Just some of the words that greeted me when I came out as abrosexual to a close friend, back in 2020. Needless to say, we're not friends anymore. For those of you who don't know what abrosexuality is, in layperson's terms, it simply means when someone's sexual identity fluctuates and changes. I read and re-read the text, the dismissiveness of their message cutting deeper each time. Here I was, sharing my identity with someone I trusted, only for them to scoff at my words. Although the easy defence is that you can't determine someone's tone from a text message, I think it's clear that the vibe was far from supportive. It was judgmental, and immediately doubtful. Sadly, this person isn't the only one who has voiced their opinions on my abrosexuality – and I doubt they'll be the last. When I was growing up, I'd never heard the term abrosexual – you were either straight, gay, or lesbian as far as nineties society was concerned. Anything else was made up. With thousands of members from all over the world, our vibrant LGBTQ+ WhatsApp channel is a hub for all the latest news and important issues that face the LGBTQ+ community. Simply click on this link, select 'Join Chat' and you're in! Don't forget to turn on notifications! Of course, we know that's far from the truth – but societal blindspots mean we learn terms much slower than if they're readily accessible. Often, people don't go looking to educate themselves on different orientations unless it directly affects them – without that incentive, I've found many stick to what they know already. I didn't learn about abrosexuality until two years ago, when I was 30. Up until that point, I'd struggled to identify what my sexuality was because it fluctuated so rapidly. There were times that I too scoffed, chastising myself for being so uncertain of who I was. It wasn't that I couldn't make my mind up, but rather my identity shifted. One day I felt like I was a lesbian, yet days or weeks later, I'd feel more aligned with bisexuality. My sexuality was fluid. Before learning about abrosexuality, I felt lost, as if out at sea. I also felt like a fraud because of how much I changed my identity when chatting with loved ones. No one was intentionally hurtful, but I'd get the occasional, 'but you said you were a lesbian only last week'. They didn't understand and, at that time, I didn't have the right words to explain myself. It was only when I was reading the Instagram page of Zoe Stoller, a US based creator, educator, and social worker, who seeks to improve the visibility of the LGBTQ+ community, that I saw the term abrosexuality for the first time. You know in cartoons when a lightbulb appears above their heads? That's how it felt when I read their post. Finally, I feel seen. Yet, while discovering a new term for me has been hugely beneficial to understanding myself better, to some people, my identity is one that evokes confusion. When I tell people that I'm abrosexual, I'm often greeted by a blank expression, followed by a question of what the term means. And questions are fine, as long as they're respectful. I'm not expecting everyone to know what it means – hell, I didn't until two years ago – but you should always listen with respect. I'm happy to say that the rest of my friends and family have been very supportive of my identity, and have strived to learn more. One question I have been asked is about how being abrosexual impacts my love life and, in short, it doesn't. It doesn't alter my romantic relationships in the same way being bisexual doesn't cause a person to feel any differently about their partner. I love the person, rather than their gender so it doesn't matter if my sexuality fluctuates while I'm with them. However, even after explaining this, there's always some people who enjoy demanding that I 'pick a lane' so that my identity doesn't offend them. I want people to know that, just because you don't know or understand an identity, doesn't make it less authentic. But it's still hard to hear things like 'mate, you're just confused' or 'just say you're bisexual and be done with it'. I refuse to be boxed in by someone else's limited knowledge. We're all learning new things about ourselves all the time – that's what growth and development is about. Eventually, I hope that abrosexuality will be seen as normal, just another identity that someone might have, and not regarded as a way to be 'on trend', as some of the hurtful comments I've received suggest. Acceptance can only come from education, and stepping outside your comfort zone to familiarise yourselves with terminology you might not know. There's a whole wealth of LGBTQ+ knowledge online that people would benefit from learning, so that ignorance isn't the main language so many of us speak. Without individuals like Stoller, I'd still be in the dark about my sexuality. I'd know that it was ever changing, but I wouldn't know why or what it meant in terms of my authenticity. I'd worry I was a fraud, or that something was wrong with me. Being closed off from yourself is an awful experience. I wish I knew why my friend reacted to my identity in such a hurtful way. More Trending Before coming out as abrosexual, I felt restricted, unable to be myself because I didn't quite know how to accept the parts of me I didn't understand. Now that I know, I can put a name to my identity, and am excited to see how that fluidity emerges. I'm no longer nervous about my sexuality because it makes sense to me, and in the end, that's all that really matters.

'I'm a vet and these are the four common dog training mistakes pet owners make'

If you're struggling to talk sense into your pooch, this expert vet has shared some very useful training tips Training your dog is arguably one of the toughest and most challenging aspects of owning a pet. Owners may be furiously searching how to train their puppy and when to start dog training classes - and it's is no wonder. ‌ From going to the toilet to respecting orders, canines have a lot to take on. They don't speak our language either, remember, so from the moment they are introduced into the family, their mental capacity will be at overload. ‌ Thankfully, an expert vet has come to the rescue to outline the five most important training commands for dogs, and the common mistakes pet owners make that could make training efforts ineffective. ‌ Dr. Anna Foreman, Everypaw Pet Insurance's in-house Vet, has also explained what age puppies should start being trained at, and shared her thoughts on the easiest and hardest to train breeds. Is your breed among them? Common mistakes that can make training efforts ineffective Punishment is not an effective training method in dogs as they do not relate a negative reaction to something bad that they have done. Punishing a dog can make them confused and scared, and even become aggressive Every dog is individual as to what they deem a 'reward'. Some dogs are food motivated, however others are by toys or balls instead. Some dogs simply enjoy the attention of being told they are good as a reward Socialisation and exposure in early life is important to help a dog get used to normal worldly phenomena. If when out and about they are constantly distracted, this can affect training Consistency in commands and reactions is important so a dog is not confused. If one owner scolds a dog for jumping on the sofa and one praises it, the dog will become very confused Five most important training commands for owners to teach puppies 1. Sit A dog should be taught to sit early on as a starting point to most other commands. 2. Stay/wait If an owner drops something that an animal is not supposed to eat (such as a medication or a toxic item) then a dog knowing to 'wait' will help prevent accidental ingestion. ‌ It also helps prevent accidents, for example if a dog escapes and runs into the road, they can verbally be 'restrained' by being told to stay or wait.

If a dog comes across something they should not go near, teaching them to 'leave' again helps prevent them from ingesting or rolling in something undesirable. ‌ 3. Recall Dogs may escape from the house, run off when on a walk, or need restraining quickly in an emergency. A dog responding to an owner calling their name and returning to them promptly can help in many scenarios. 4. Lie down/roll over This can help with vet examinations, for example parts of orthopaedic and neurological exams are better performed with an animal lying on their side. It may also be easier to clip nails or check feet in this position, too. 5. Go to the toilet This command can be handy for when they are away from home with limited outdoor access, or simply for when they are being looked after by somebody else. It also helps when trying to collect urine or faecal samples. ‌ What age should dogs start being trained at? Start training dogs as soon as possible. Their learning phase is within the first fourteen weeks of their life, as they are very absorbent of any training given. Training past this point takes longer and might not be so effective. Top tips for getting started with training dogs Be patient, take it slowly and practice little and often Find what your dog responds to best as a reward Handle body parts like ears, paws, and teeth from an early age to get dogs used to examination Put a dog's harness and/or collar on in the house to get them used to wearing one before going outside Article continues below Breeds that are easier or more difficult to train Beagles, Huskies and Dachshunds are particularly stubborn dogs to train and can require more patience. In contrast, Spaniels, Poodles, and Border Collies are generally regarded as dogs who are intelligent and easy to train.
