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.

Aldi gives workers ANOTHER pay rise as discount retailer hikes its minimum wage to £13-an-hour
Aldi store workers are set for another pay rise after the budget supermarket announced it was hiking its minimum wage to £13 an hour from September. The grocery chain, which has held the crown of Britain's best paying supermarket employer, claims to be the first to introduce the new minimum rate. Store assistants will be paid at least £13 an hour nationwide from September 1 - up from a current £12.75. This rises to £14.33 an hour for workers within the M25 to counter the additional costs associated with living in the capital. Based on the length of service, Aldi store assistants could see their pay jump to £13.93 nationally, and to £14.64 within the M25. Giles Hurley, chief executive of Aldi UK and Ireland, said: 'Our people are the driving force behind our success across the UK. 'This latest investment in pay is a reflection of their hard work and the incredible contribution they make every single day. 'We're proud to remain the UK's highest-paying supermarket and will continue to support our colleagues in every way we can.' It comes after Chancellor Rachel Reeves raised the the UK national minimum wage to £12.21 an hour in April for workers over the age of 21. However, Aldi workers also received a pay increase in January when the supermarket raised its minimum hourly rate to £12.71, up from the previous £12.40. The move put its staff on better pay than those working at their competitors, including upmarket shops like Waitrose and M&S. Other supermarkets have raised their bottom rates for thousands of shop workers in recent months to bring it above the national minimum. Tesco store workers are set to benefit from minimum hourly rates rising to £12.64 an hour from the end of August, having risen to £12.45 from March 30. For Sainsbury's and Argos workers, the national minimum hourly rate will rise to £12.60 in August, having increased to £12 in March. Meanwhile Waitrose workers are paid a minimum of £12.40 an hour and staff at M&S are paid at least £12.60 an hour. Rival German discounter Lidl, earlier this year, increased hourly pay for thousands of workers to £12.75 an hour across the UK. The wage increase was part of a near-£15 million investment into pay by Lidl, who employ more than 35,000 people across the UK. Chief People Officer at Lidl, said: 'We're proud to offer leading pay rates in the sector, while fostering a culture of opportunity and inclusion that helps our teams thrive. 'As we continue to grow, investing in our people remains at the heart of what we do.' Discounters like Aldi and Lidl can likely afford the pay rises because they spend very little on anything else. They undercut rivals by adopting fiercely stringent business practices - from deploying stock onto the floor on its pallets through to minimising the amount spent on advertising. Their brutal efficiency, and dependency on an almost exclusive range of own-name products, means prices are kept low compared to rivals. But this can also land discounters in trouble - particularly when they sail too close to the wind when creating their own brands 'inspired' by the real deal.

Lidl shoppers spot dog playing a piano in supermarket logo
The supermarket is a popular place to grab bargains with everything from typical groceries to more adventurous middle aisle finds. But, even the keenest of shoppers are only just noticing the hidden animal in the supermarket's logo. Have you seen it? TikTok user @skintdad has pointed out that 'when you see it, you can't unsee it'. The Lidl logo seems pretty straightforward with the name of the supermarket's name colourfully displayed inside a circle but shoppers think there's more to it. In the video shared by @skintdad, the user zooms in on the Lidl logo while explaining: 'The Lidl sign is a dog playing a piano.' Viewers commented their thoughts on the video with one joking: 'It's just a lidl dog'. Someone else said: 'I can see it 🤣'. This person said they understood: 'I can see it the red letter is the dog and The first L is the piano'. Another viewer offered an alternative for the slanted I in the logo: 'It's a chair, balancing a ball'. This TikTok user said: 'no wonder why lidl ad plays a piano tune at the end!😂' Newsquest has contacted Lidl for comment. In April this year, Lidl revealed plans to invest £500 million as the discount supermarket chain accelerates its expansion across the UK. The German-owned chain is pushing forward with plans to open more than 40 new stores in the current financial year.
