What is a product recall?
If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).
The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.
In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued.
This provides local authorities with details of specific actions to be taken on behalf of consumers.

Lidl will soon start selling Stanley cup dupe that's £55 cheaper than the original
LIDL is gearing up to launch a Stanley cup dupe that's £55 cheaper than the original. The discount store's version is almost impossible to tell from the real thing, and it's just £5.99. The Livarno Home Stainless Steel Insulated Mug will be hitting stores from June 22. Just like a Stanley flask, it comes in a Barbie pink shade and has a narrower base to fit in car cup holders. It also has a 2-in-1 lid, which can be used with or without a drinking straw. The body of the flask is double-walled, meaning that it keeps drinks hot or cold. It is also BPA-free, meaning it contains no bisphenol A, which is a synthetic chemical used to make polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. It's often found in various products, including food and drink containers. It can hold up to 1.2L and comes with a three-year warranty. The lid and straw is also dishwasher safe. Original Stanley flasks range between £30 and £60, making Lidl's product £54.99 cheaper. Stanley travel cups are available to buy directly from Stanley's website and other stockists including Amazon, John Lewis, Urban Outfitters, Fruugo and Foot Asylum for a huge £42-£48. Both flasks have a stainless-steel design, double-wall insulation and multi-function sipper suitable to be used with or without a straw. Stanley unveiled an impressive new 2025 line up earlier this year, sending hydration enthusiasts into a frenzy. Since the Barbie collection took the UK by storm in 2023, Stanley has elevated their game with fresh designs that are both practical and Instagram-worthy. Stanley Quencher cups are available to buy directly from Stanley's website, but there are plenty of other UK stockists you can shop from, including: If you're one of the many Brits coveting your very own Stanley Adventure Quencher cup, we have details of where to shop the must-have cup here in the UK. This comes after Lidl unveiled its own take on Crocs. Set to fly off the shelves like clog-work, the headline act, is a shoe-stopping pair of Lidl Adults' Clogs, which come in the iconic Lidl yellow or bold blue. Priced at just £4.99, with sizes ranging from 3.5 to 11, savvy shoppers of all sizes can tap their toes to the beat in style.

Pies are recalled because wrong use-by date implies they are safe to eat until June 2026
A range of pies has been recalled after they were labelled with the wrong use-by date, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has said. The pies, made by Pieminister Kitchens, were labelled with the use-by date of June 24 2026, rather than 2025. Pieminister said the pies were made on the same day this week in the company's Bristol bakery and were safe to eat until their intended use-by date of June 24. In a statement, the company apologised for the 'technical issue' and said: 'We are working closely with our technical teams and have implemented additional measures to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future.' The affected products, marked 24.06.2026 on the side of the box, include Pieminister's Moo, Kate & Sidney, Deer & Beer and Fungi Chicken pies. The FSA advised customers not to eat the affected pies beyond the intended use-by date and said they could be returned to the store where they were bought for a refund. It added that posters would be put up at all shops that sell the products to inform customers of the issue. The full list of pies affected is as follows: Moo and Blue, Kate and Sidney, Deer and Beer, Free Ranger, Fungi Chicken, Wild Shroom, Mooless Moo, Goat's Cheese and Sweet Potato Filo Pie and the Spinach and Feta Filo Pie. The pies all weight between 230g and 270g.
