In other recall news, Aldi also withdrew some of its Inspired Cuisine Baby Potatoes with Herbs and Butter due to a labelling error. Specific batches failed to mention the presence of milk on the packaging, posing a potential health risk for those with allergies or intolerances to milk or milk constituents.
The recalled potatoes have a use-by date of April 12 and bear the barcode 4061463488152. Meanwhile, Morrisons has issued a recall for its own-brand The Best 6 Thick Cumberland Sausages, which may contain small fragments of blue plastic.

'Do not eat': Jolly Rancher sweets 'unsafe' amid increased risk of cancer
UK consumers are being urged not to eat 'unsafe' Jolly Rancher sweets which could increase the risk of cancer. Candies from the Jolly Rancher brand contain mineral oils, a food additive which can pose health risks if consumed regularly over a sustained period of time, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said. The chemical compounds in the products contain mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (Moah); and mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons, (Mosh). Both are used in confectionery to prevent stickiness and create a glossy appearance, but do not comply with UK law. US producer Hershey, which owns the brand, has been working with the FSA to remove all Jolly Rancher products from the UK market since 2024. However, some businesses in the UK continue to import their products. The affected products include the Jolly Rancher Hard Candy, 'Misfits' Gummies, Hard Candy Fruity 2 in 1, and Berry Gummies. The warning includes all batch codes, pack sizes, and best-before dates for the affected products. The notice affects England, Northern Ireland and Wales specifically. A spokesperson for the FSA said: 'Consumption of the affected sweets is of toxicological concern, especially in younger age groups and where consumers eat a lot of the products or eat them regularly. 'Moah can cause damage to DNA and has the potential to increase the risk of cancer, particularly if consumed in high quantities over a prolonged period of time. 'Moah is a genotoxic carcinogen, therefore no exposure is without risk to human health. 'If you have bought any of the above products, do not eat them. 'Instead, dispose of them at home. If you are concerned, notify your Trading Standards department or environmental health department in the local authority you purchased it. 'For consumers, don't buy them, and if you've eaten these products, there should be no immediate cause for concern, as food safety risk is low, but don't eat any more.' UK retailers and food businesses are being urged to cease all imports and sales of the candy brand, and asked enforcement authorities to ensure the products are removed from the shelves. The FSA said: 'Food businesses who import these products are advised to discontinue import and distribution of products. 'Food businesses selling these products in the UK are advised to immediately stop sales, undertake product withdrawals and where there have been retail sales, to undertake product recalls. 'The Hershey Company, which is the brand owner, has taken action to remove these products from the UK market. 'We are asking enforcement authorities to make immediate contact with businesses who may have been supplied with or received the affected products, and to take action to ensure that the non-compliant and potentially unsafe products are withdrawn from the market and where sold at retail, recalled. 'We are also asking the local authorities to inform the FSA of product recall and withdrawal actions.'

"MOAH is a genotoxic carcinogen, therefore no exposure is without risk to human health." Your product recall rights Chief consumer reporter James Flanders reveals all you need to know. Product recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods. As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action. But it's often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk. If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer's website to see if a safety notice has been issued. When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you - the customer - to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don't there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault. If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer. They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice. In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected. You should not be charged for any recall work - such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item
