Popular pasta sauce pulled from supermarket shelves over fears jars contain
A POPULAR pasta sauce has been urgently recalled from supermarket shelves after fears emerged that some jars may contain shards of glass. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued a clear 'do not eat' warning for Organico's Organic Alla Norma Sauce — a mix of aubergines, tomato, and garlic — after safety concerns were raised. 2 Urgent do not eat warning issued as popular pasta sauce found to contain shards of glass Organic Alla Norma Sauce Credit: supplied The affected batch, sold at retailers including high-end online supermarket Ocado, is batch number 140227, with a best-before date of February 14, 2027. Organico, the manufacturer, urged customers: 'Please do not consume. "Return to the retailer for a refund. If the retailer does not accept returns, please contact us directly.' The company apologised for the inconvenience but did not explain how the glass ended up in the product. The FSA added that 'point of sale notices will be displayed in all stores selling the product' to inform shoppers about the recall and what steps to take. 'If you have bought this sauce, do not eat it,' the agency stressed. 'Return it to the shop you purchased it from for a full refund.' Food recalls are issued when a product is found to pose a safety risk to consumers, such as contamination or mislabeling. These warnings aim to protect the public from harm and help remove dangerous items from shelves quickly. This latest pasta sauce recall comes just days after Morrisons pulled its 400g pack of Best 6 Thick Cumberland Sausages over fears they might contain small pieces of plastic. These recent recalls are part of a worrying trend of food safety issues across the UK, with several popular products — from Tesco's Sandwich Pickle and Crosta & Mollica pasta sauces to Newcastle Brown Ale and Lidl potato salads, all pulled from shelves over contamination fears, including glass, plastic, or even copper pieces. 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. Food safety experts warn that even small fragments of glass or plastic can pose serious health risks, including cuts to the mouth or throat, choking hazards, or internal injury if swallowed. Consumers are urged to regularly check the FSA website or retailer announcements for the latest product recalls and take immediate action if they have any affected items at home. 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

Row Z: Semi-automated offsides, PSR loopholes and champion influencers
Welcome to Row Z, The Athletic's weekly column that shines a light on the bonkers side of the game. From clubs to managers, players to organisations, every Friday we'll bring you the absurdities, the greed, the contradictions, the preposterousness and the oddities of the game we all love… The Premier League has confirmed that semi-automated offside is being introduced next weekend. Great, just in time for the big end to the season. What could possibly go wrong? Here's the league's chief football officer Tony Scholes in February: 'We are not going to introduce it if we've got any doubts at all with regards to its operation. The system we've adopted, we believe it to be the best system, the most accurate and future-proof system.' Advertisement He sounds pretty confident. Row Z can't foresee any issues whatsoever. Hang on a minute, remind us what the Premier League said in 2019 (via a promotional video with Alan Shearer) when it was about to introduce VAR: 'The Premier League is setting a high bar for VAR involvement. The philosophy is minimum interference, maximum benefit, keeping the pace and passion we all know and love.' Hmmm. Anyway let's be fair — this is a new system and we have to place our faith in these people and the technology they're implementing. In other recent semi-automated offside news: There was an eight-minute delay during Bournemouth v Wolves in the FA Cup last month when the technology was being trialled. Great. Sure, Saudi Arabian sportswashing has infiltrated the world of Newcastle streamers and alleged influencers, but who's to say there isn't some kid in Riyadh vlogging in a similar fashion? 'Hello, sorry, (checks notes) howay everyone. What better way to celebrate Newcastle, the pride of Saudi Arabia, winning the Carabao Cup than by flying to the north east of England where you can enjoy overcast weather and below average temperatures for this time of year? 'If you're (checks notes) reet canny you'll remove all the garments from the top half of your body, sip from a refreshing bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale and pay a visit to popular social club Popworld. That's (checks notes) champion.' Chelsea, you've got to hand it to them. A couple of years after selling two hotels for a combined £76.5million ($100.2m at current rates) to help balance their bulging books, the club have now revealed they made a whopping £128.4m pre-tax profit in 2023-24 despite being busy assembling the world's most expensive (and underachieving) football squad. How? They sold off the women's team! And who did they sell it to? Themselves, of course! Many Premier League clubs can have no complaints over Chelsea's methods given that, just last year, nine of them voted to continue to allow the use of one-off profits from the sales of hotels, training grounds or other tangible assets in their financial fair play submissions. What else are clubs looking to sell so they can stay within the top flight's profitability and sustainability rules (PSR)? Row Z can only speculate: Manchester United: Sir Alex Ferguson. Not content with scrapping his role as a club ambassador, United could look into selling Fergie as a commodity. In return the buying club would receive Ferguson's attendance at every home and away match as well as phonecalls offering encouragement to the team's manager and players. Advertisement 'These are desperate times, we're running out cash,' Sir Jim Ratcliffe will justify as he simultaneously signs off on a project to build the most expensive circus tent ever constructed. Also potentially up for sale at United — one stadium roof. It's got a few holes in it but nothing a bit of Polyfilla won't fix. Oh and their dignity, week after week. Tottenham: Any branding which just has the word 'Tottenham' on it. That's Tottenham Hotspur or Spurs to me and you. Chelsea (again): Every single player they bought last summer. Arsenal: Advance copies of the club's newly-commissioned DVD 'Conspiracy', a docu-drama which will intersperse clips showing where the PGMOL have deliberately wronged Arsenal this season to derail their title bid, with dramatic behind-the-scenes recreations of how the plots were conceived, starring Arsenal fans Benedict Cumberbatch (playing Howard Webb) and Anne Hathaway (Howard Webb's wife). Liverpool: Just a few million Trent Alexander-Arnold No 66 shirts. Wolves forward Matheus Cunha during an interview with The Observer on March 30: 'Now, we're close to achieving our goal (of staying up). But I've made it clear that I need to take the next step. I want to fight for titles, for big things.' Also Cunha, on March 1: Gets needlessly sent off in the 120th minute of an FA Cup fifth-round tie at Bournemouth, starting a fight with Milos Kerkez as the game winds down to penalties. Cunha then can't take a penalty so Matt Doherty has to step up instead and misses, meaning Wolves miss out on a last-eight spot and the chance of a title. And also here's Wolves, the club that pay Cunha's wages, on February 1: 'Wolves top scorer Matheus Cunha has committed his long-term future to the club, signing a new four-and-a-half-year deal at Molineux.' There was another normal night for Jose Mourinho in Turkey this week. After Fenerbahce's loss to Galatasaray in the Turkish Cup, Jose Mourinho appeared to pinch the nose of Okan Buruk, the Galatasaray manager. — The Athletic | Football (@TheAthleticFC) April 2, 2025 Anyway, Galatasaray had the last laugh with this, which may not only win the internet this week, but possibly for the whole of 2025. Galatasaray delirtir. — Galatasaray SK (@GalatasaraySK) April 2, 2025
