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.

Popular £3 DIY solution for adding privacy to overlooked windows – install in seconds & cheaper than curtains or blinds
Plus, a full list of locations where new Lidl stores are set to open HOME HACK Popular £3 DIY solution for adding privacy to overlooked windows – install in seconds & cheaper than curtains or blinds Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NO one likes to feel overlooked and spied upon in their own home, but sometimes it's unavoidable. As our homes become taller and closer together, Lidl have been finding innovative solutions to help keep the onlookers out. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Livarno Home Window Privacy Film released August 14 Credit: Lidl Lidl's Privacy Solution Lidl have launched a budget-friendly solution to help keep privacy at home. For only £2.99, Lidl have released new Livarno Home Window Privacy Films. The new product is set to launch on August 14 and will be sure to fly off the shelves. The reason to buy Privacy can be required at home for a number of reasons, and for many it can be the only option. For many, curtains and blinds are too costly and an inefficient way of blocking out onlookers. What's more, not all windows are uniform in size, and so finding blinds to fit some windows can be an interior design nightmare. 4 Curtains and blinds can be an interior design nightmare Credit: Getty As a result, privacy film such as Lidl's, which can be cut to size, is a great solution, in particular because it is reusable. The easy to apply self-adhesive makes protecting your home has never been easier. The rolls come in four different varieties to fit any interior, and come in rolls of 67.5cm wide and 200cm long. As a result, for many windows, there would be no need to awkwardly try to align two rolls together or pattern match.' And unlike blinds and curtains, window film is also easy to clean – it can simply be wiped down with household cleaning products. Lidl Launches £7.99 Extension Lead to Rival Screwfix's £39.99 Gadget Film over curtains People tend to use privacy glass for multiple reasons, and there are many options on the market. Privacy glass films can be either reflective or frosted. Reflective glass helps to achieve privacy by providing an appearance on one side of the glass, whilst allowing vision from the other side, meaning those who use it can still look out without hindering their view - only the view of onlookers. 4 Films can be an easy way to reflect heat without blocking the view Credit: Getty The film works on the light balance, with the side of the film that is brightest exhibiting the reflective properties. During daylight hours, this is always the side of the film facing outwards, making it ideal for daytime privacy. Therefore, the film is an ideal alternative to blinds or curtains which, when drawn, block the view both ways, whilst also making rooms dark. These films are designed to allow good light transmission, ensuring that a good level of natural light is allowed to enter the room whilst also maintaining a view. 4 Lidl's cost-effective option is only £2.99 Credit: Getty For some people, ultimate privacy is wanted, and so two-way frosted film can be used. Once applied, this versatile film gives windows the appearance of acid etched or sandblasted glass, preventing vision from both sides of the pane whilst allowing high levels of light to pass through. It is a stylish solution to privacy, while still allowing light to enter the building and can be cut to the exact size specifications. Yet, privacy is not the only purpose for windows films. Some films have solar control benefits to help lower heat buildup in rooms by reflecting the heat out of a room. This means they can be the perfect solution to keeping rooms cooler in the summer months, such as bedrooms.

Walkers is launching two permanent new crisp flavours for first time in decades
For the last year, Walkers has been keeping a huge secret from crisp fans. They've been quietly developing two brand new flavours for their permanent range – and this is kind of a big deal, as the brand hasn't added anything new to its core line-up in decades. Salted crisps were first launched by Walkers in 1948, with Cheese & Onion crisps coming along in 1954. These were followed by Salt & Vinegar in 1967. Other classic flavours like Prawn Cocktail, Roast Chicken and Smoky Bacon are thought to have been introduced in the 70s. But as of this week this week, shoppers will be able to get their hands on Sticky Teriyaki and Masala Chicken flavours. Walkers claims they've spent the last 12 months working on 'rigorous flavour testing' to bring these crisps to life, which involved a six-step process. They initially started out with 63 different flavour submissions, before the team finally narrowed it down to just two. And they're expecting both of the new products to be a big success, as research carried out by the crisp giants found that 73% of consumers would rather buy Masala Chicken crisps than the classic Prawn Cocktail ones, while 65% picked Sticky Teriyaki over Cheese & Onion. In fact, following a taste test, 49% of crisp lovers admitted they preferred the new 'bold' and 'innovative' flavours over the entirety of the core Walkers selection. That's some serious fighting talk right there… The new flavours will be available in supermarkets across the UK from the week of August 11. More Trending But if you're curious to hear more about how they taste before then, Walkers claims the Sticky Teriyaki crisps are both 'sweet and tangy', and the flavour will 'hit your senses'. And the Masala Chicken ones are said to have a 'rich and creamy' taste, giving you a 'bite-sized' version of the UK's favourite Indian dish, Tikka Masala. Wayne Newton, senior marketing director at Walkers adds: 'Our development team has been on a mission for the past year to find two new flavours that meet the highest standards. View More » 'After thousands of crisps crunched, flavours tested, and bags rustled, we're pleased to bring something entirely new to the table with Sticky Teriyaki and Masala Chicken.' Lidl has just introduced three new items into its bakery Lidl shared a look at the new selection on TikTok saying: 'New bakery special guests.' They went on to reveal a new Pain Suisse priced at 79p, a 99p Tiramisu Loaf, and a Cookies and Cream doughnut that's £1.49. Fans have already hailed the new items 'divine', 'gorgeous' and 'incredible'. Waitrose launched 'mesmerising' retro cake from 1930s The supermarket has teamed up with renowned cake maker, Fiona Cairns, to create a Lambeth-style cake, which feature a very specific decoration style, all to do with the way the icing is piped. The over-piping technique has roots in Europe, dating back to the 19th Century, but was largely popularised by cake decorator Joseph Lambeth in the 1930s thanks to his book, The Lambeth Method of Cake Decoration & Practical Pastries. Each of the Vintage Style Lemon & Raspberry Lambeth Cakes available from cost £65, serve 32-34 people, and are made to order, requiring eight days' notice. Terry's has teased a 'top secret' new Chocolate Orange flavour Terry's shared the news that it has something new coming on its Instagram account. They posted with a picture of a golden envelope, with the caption: 'Sealed, secret, and seriously delicious. Not long now…' Some think this is a new chocolate caramel flavour that has been spotted in shops, while others have demanded a pistachio one too. Do you have a story to share?
