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 It came after Lidl recently told shoppers not to eat one of its savoury snacks over fears it could contain And just last month, Iceland recalled its Vegetable Lasagne after the possible presence of hard plastic pieces was discovered in packs with best-before dates of 23 July 2026 and 30 July 2026.

M&S food sales show resilience despite cyberattack, says NielsenIQ
HighlightsBritish retailer Marks and Spencer's food business experienced a 10.8 percent increase in food sales over the 12 weeks to May 17 year-on-year, despite challenges from a recent cyberattack. The cyberattack led to the suspension of online clothing orders and affected food availability, contributing to an estimated loss of 300 million pounds in operating profit for Marks and Spencer. Marks and Spencer's market share in the UK grocery sector rose to 3.8 percent, although its sales growth slowed compared to previous reports. British retailer Marks & Spencer 's food business saw food sales increase 10.8 per cent over the 12 weeks to May 17 year-on-year despite the fallout from a cyberattack last month denting availability, industry data showed on Thursday. Researcher NielsenIQ said M&S' share of the UK grocery market rose 20 basis points to 3.8 per cent in the period year-on-year. M&S' sales growth did, however, slow from 14.7 per cent in NielsenIQ's previous report. As part of its management of the cyberattack, M&S stopped taking online clothing orders and also took other systems offline. That hit food availability and also resulted in higher waste and logistics costs. Last week M&S said the attack would cost it about 300 million pounds (USD 404 million) in lost operating profit, with disruption to online services lasting probably until July. Most of NIQ's data broadly echoed the findings of rival researcher Kantar's report on Wednesday, with robust sales growth from discounters Aldi and Lidl, market leader Tesco, number two Sainsbury 's and online supermarket Ocado. However, M&S is not fully included in Kantar's market share data set.
