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If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).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.

The best tips for finding supermarket bargains: readers share their Lidl and Aldi secrets
As Aldi lost its crown as the UK's cheapest supermarket, many Independent readers were quick to praise its closest rival, with Lidl hailed as the new budget champion. Several commenters highlighted how deep discounting, especially on fresh food close to expiry, allowed savvy shoppers to stock their freezers for a fraction of the price. 'That's where the real savings are,' one noted. Others praised Lidl's straightforward offering – from 'superior' fruit and veg to reliable low prices on staples. Still, there were gripes. While checkout speed was seen as a bonus by many, others found the self-checkout machines and customer service lacking. Some shoppers, however, took a more selective approach. 'I get the best from each,' one wrote, explaining how they combined Lidl, Aldi and Farmfoods in a single trip. Overall, the sentiment was clear: Lidl is doing something right. Here's what you had to say: Lidl discounts make the difference Skint geezer here... what isn't being factored in is that Lidl will knock 20 per cent, then 50 per cent, off their fresh food prices, enabling one to stock up the freezer for a fraction of the prices charged at Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's. My local Sainsbury's also reduces items to 50 per cent but it's so hit and miss as to what time they'll do it, and it's manager-dependent (a couple of them exceedingly tight). Tel-X I can't be bothered with huge supermarkets We do all our shopping at the Co-op. They have excellent own brands and member discounts. The petrol station gives you 10p off a litre if you spend over a certain amount in-store. I can't be bothered with huge supermarkets – there is more to life than wasting an afternoon choosing between thirty different types of baked beans or lavatory paper. WorriedWelsh My town has both Lidl and Sainsbury's almost side by side, so comparison is easy – and with both discount cards, I get the best of both worlds. Lidl's veg seems far more plasticised and packaged. Each weighed stalk of broccoli is vacuum-packed, while Sainsbury's is fresh from the crate, and you pick your size. Most telling, though, is that Lidl always appears to be understaffed, and their high staff turnover must indicate something negative. Branded products are usually on a par with Sainsbury's and sometimes more expensive. I'm lucky to have time to pick and mix, but I always have the feeling that Sainsbury's fresh meat and own label are more likely to be British than Lidl's. Fallingapart Selective Co-op shopper It depends an awful lot on what you buy. While Co-op can be expensive, its member prices and offers are generally pretty competitive. I do shop there for some things, but I'm pretty selective about what I buy. Yorkshireman The free market at work The free market is working well, except where supermarkets have grabbed more sites than they need. But overall, if you live in a suburb, you will have a great range of food stores. Locally, I've got an Aldi, and for a wider range of items, I get Tesco deliveries – I live in a second-floor flat with no lift, so getting it delivered to the door is a nice bonus. Ender's Shadow Nice to have variety Lidl and Aldi are much of a muchness so far as cost is concerned. With most goods, however, Aldi's quality is superior. However, some Lidl items are of better quality. So, I mostly shop at Aldi; sometimes shop at Lidl, but also – since they're nearby – drop into Tesco and Sainsbury's, too. If I'm feeling posh and flush, I go to Waitrose. Nice to have all the variety, frankly. MoodyJack The deciding factor is the car parking The price difference between Lidl and Aldi is so small – and their difference to Waitrose is so big – that it doesn't matter whether you shop in Lidl or Aldi. I shop in both. For me, the deciding factor is the car parking. In Milton Keynes, the Aldi car park is an enormous retail centre car park. The Lidl car park is next to the store and even has extra space between cars so that you can access and open your car door conveniently. PeterLoud1 Lidl dropped me When Lidl dropped their filled croissant and took out their bread slicing machine, they also dropped me. I used to drive the extra 15 minutes for both (and the rest of my groceries). But, no longer. Glenn Processed I live in a small town in France with five independent organic food shops, a twice-weekly market where many stalls are local farmers and producers selling local produce. I've realised that UK residents often don't realise how processed and unhealthy their food is – and how much they are 'marketed' into being consumers of tat. SRKfan Huge Lidl fan Checkout is easy at Lidl; I just swipe everything into the trolley and pack it at the car. Don't hold up those behind you – it's unfair. I'm a huge Lidl fan. I find Aldi to be a bit too pretentious, as if it ever could be. Plus, we've got a new Lidl only 15 minutes from our rural location. The fruit and veg are of a far superior quality to that offered by the big supermarkets, and cost less. I rarely buy anything from the middle, though. I do look to see what is on offer, but apart from the occasional cuddly toy, I never see anything I truly want. Yes, I am a Lidl fan. Also Food Warehouse (have you seen their crisp selection?). Drone1970 I'm not a fan of any Fruit and veg quality varies a lot from place to place, as well as in different stores. I find that the best fruit and veg (near me) tends to be in Aldi, Morrisons and Sainsbury's... but that doesn't mean that it is that way everywhere. A lot also depends on the time of day and what is left on the shelves... I'm not a fan of any supermarket, but that's not to say that I don't make use of them. MarchesMood2 I pick the best from each I have both Lidl and Aldi in my nearest town and I like both of them. Lidl for coffee, ice creams, high fruit ratio conserves, chocolate, cat food, olive oils. Aldi's fruit and veg are better and keep longer. I like the sourdough flatbreads (frozen pizza), bread (Lidl seeded loaf is mashy), meat, flavoured mayo, and dog treats. Farmfoods is across the road from my Lidl, so I get all my frozen fruit and veg from there, plus a super range of yummy sauces like the sweet chilli one for in my stir fries, kebab shop style chilli and mint, creamy garlic sauce – all for around £1. And their frozen curries are lovely with huge chunks of real meat. When I shop every three weeks, it takes ages as I visit all three shops for different things. I pick the best from each. fenwoman Lidl staples are always in stock I go to Lidl a lot as it's near me. What I do like is that they keep the same range of staples all year round. So if you tend to buy some of the same things every week, then this is a bonus. Not like some supermarkets that drop certain lines after just a couple of weeks. 'They were here last week' comes to mind. Amidthecrusaids Want to share your views? Simply register your details below.

Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff. Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals. It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers. Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process. It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
