Tesco urgently recalls popular cheese over fears it contains deadly bacteria
A brand of popular Swiss cheese has been urgently recalled over fears it could contain deadly bacteria. Tesco has recalled packs of 150g Le Superbe Raclette over fears it contains listeria monocytogenes, which causes the most common type of food poisoning. Listeriosis is considered dangerous to pregnant women, newborn babies, people with a weakened immune system and people aged over 65. Symptoms range from fever and muscle pain to septicemia and meningitis. The Food Standards Agency said: 'Symptoms caused by this organism can be similar to flu and include high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea. 'However, in rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications, such as meningitis.' The recall only affects Tesco customers with the best before date of May 12. Most people have none at all, or only mild lasting a few days. Usually those symptoms are similar to those of other conditions. Symptoms of listeria include: Babies may be irritable with a lower appetite A high temperature Aches and pains Chills Feeling or being sick Diarrhoea Pregnant people might have stomach ache and may notice their baby is moving less Babies may be irritable with a lower appetite Tesco said: 'If you've bought an affected product with a best before date of 12/05/25, please don't eat it. More Trending 'Instead, return it to a Tesco store where a full refund will be given. No receipt is required.' On Thursday, the agency said a ready-made lasagne by La Famiglia Rana was being recalled because some contained lobster meat, rather than beef. A popular pasta sauce by Organico Realfoods was recalled earlier this month over fears it contains shards of glass While Morrisons recalled its own-brand sausages containing 'small pieces of blue plastic'.

Urgent 'do not eat' warning issued for ready meal sold in Tesco and Morrisons
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has recalled the La Famiglia Rana Slow-Cooked Braised Beef Lasagne by Giovanni Rana (UK) due to a major packaging error An urgent "do not eat" warning has been issued as a popular beef pasta ready meal sold in major UK supermarkets could actually contain fish instead. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has recalled the La Famiglia Rana Slow-Cooked Braised Beef Lasagne by Giovanni Rana (UK) due to a major packaging error. The ready meal serves two people and is described as 'succulent chunks of braised beef in a rich sauce, layered with fresh egg pasta and béchamel sauce, topped with breadcrumbs.' Although the dish is labelled as containing beef, due to a production error, some of the products actually contain prawn and lobster instead. As the packaging does not match the actual product, there is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to crustaceans. Shellfish can cause severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, according to food allergy experts. According to Allergy UK: 'A fish/shellfish allergic reaction occurs when the body recognises the food protein as harmful and mounts an allergic response. 'An allergic reaction to seafood can be mild or moderate (swollen lips, face or eyes, itching, tingling mouth, hives, rash, abdominal pain, vomiting) or severe (breathing difficulties, dizziness or collapse). Fish/shellfish reactions have the potential to cause anaphylaxis, which is the most severe form of an allergic reaction.' The product is sold in supermarkets including Tesco and Morrisons. In Morrisons, the dish is priced at £7 online, while in Tesco it is £9. Both supermarkets have issued their own recalls for the ready meal. The notice from the Food Standards Agency said: "Some packs may contain Prawn & Lobster Lasagne, which contains crustaceans (prawns and lobster), which are not mentioned on the label. This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to crustaceans.' The packs affected by the recall notice are 700g, have a batch code of L0B510816, and have a use-by date of June 17, 2025.

Products can be recalled for a range of different reasons including safety – if a product displays risks for the customer – or quality – when the product isn't working as it should be. The Food Standards Agency is in charge of issuing alerts when there is a problem with a food product. The product can either be "withdrawn" which is where is it taken off the shelves or "recalled" which is when customers are asked to return it. Food products need to be recalled if they are found to have been contaminated with pathogens that could cause food poisoning, or if plastic or metal has been found in the product due to manufacturing faults. Food items also need to be recalled if any allergen information is missing or incorrect. The Office for Product Safety and Standards is responsible for everything else which does not fall into food, medicines, and vehicles.

Urgent food recall issued for popular family ready meal stocked at Tesco
The Food Standards Agency has issued a recall alert for a popular family ready meal due to a possible presence of seafood - here's what you need to know A popular food item has triggered a recall alert due to an unexpected ingredient – seafood. The affected product is the tasty La Famiglia Rana Slow-Cooked Braised Beef Lasagne. These may contain sneaky prawns and lobster not listed on the label. The Food Standards Agency has thrown up red flags over this as "a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to crustaceans". Shoppers who snagged the dish and have a crustacean allergy have been urged by the agency: "If you have bought the product and have an allergy to crustaceans, do not eat it. "Instead return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund (even without a receipt)." The recall specifically hits 700g packs distributed by Giovanni Rana (UK) Ltd. The ready meals are available at big retailers like Tesco and Morrisons, distinguished by the batch code L0B510816. These are marked with a use-by date of June 17, 2025, as per reports from Wales Online, reports Teesside Live. Allergy UK points out, in shellfish allergy insights, that fish and shellfish rank among the 14 allergens under the Food Standards Agency's supervision. Crustacean allergies spark off negative immune reactions to proteins found in these sea dwellers, further reported by Wales Online. While some folks with this allergy might react to all shellfish types, others might only be sensitive to certain ones. Symptoms of an allergic reaction can encompass a rash or hives, feeling light-headed, swelling of the mouth, tongue, face or other parts of the body, difficulty in breathing and stomach discomfort. A more severe reaction, known as anaphylaxis, can result in throat swelling, shock, a rapid heartbeat and loss of consciousness.
