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
