Morrisons has displayed point of sale notices inside stores selling the sausages. The notices explain the reason for the recall, and provide advice to customers who have purchased them. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issues Product Recall Information Notices to inform consumers and local authorities about issues with food products. They also issue more serious Food Alert for Action notices, which give local authorities specific actions to take on behalf of consumers. If there are concerns regarding the safety of the product, it is either withdrawn or customers are asked to return it to stores. This follows the news that Asda recalled it's Simple To Cook Asian Inspired Pork Belly Slices off the shelves, over serious health fears. Staying Safe with Product Recalls in the UK The supermarket discovered that the product could contain milk and sulphites, which do not appear on the label, so could pose a risk to anyone who is allergic to them. The use by date on affected products is April 25, and the barcode is 5063089827178. A popular kids' dinosaur toy sold on Amazon was also recently recalled due to a "serious risk" of choking. The 3D printed toy was mislabelled, and a young child could smoke on a small part. 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 The recall notice states that the toy, from China, is now being rejected at the border. And a popular airfryer sold in B&M, Argos, Poundland and Tesco has been recalled due to the risk of it bursting into flames. Customers who have one of four models of the airfryer by Tower are being told to get in touch with the company. Models affected include the T17023 Tower 2.2Ltr Manual Air Fryer, T17061BLK Tower 4Ltr Manual Air Fryer, T17067 Tower 4Ltr Digital Air Fryer and the T17087 Tower 2Ltr Compact Manual Air Fryer. Anyone with an affected device is advised to unplug them and "stop using them immediately." A notice posted on the Tower Housewares' website reads: 'The fault has been deemed low risk by Trading Standards, however the safety and well-being of our customers is our top priority, and we have made the decision to voluntarily recall these models as a precautionary measure. 'The issue has been identified within specific batches of the affected products manufactured between January 2022 – April 2023.'

Morrisons issues urgent recall for sausages that are 'unsafe to eat'
A packet of Morrisons sausages are being urgently recalled due to a health and safety issue. If you have bought them, it's advised not to consume them as they are "unsafe to eat." The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued a new food alert today, Friday, April 25. It explains that the supermarket's own-branded The Best Six Thick Cumberland Sausages have been recalled as they "may contain small pieces of blue plastic." The presence of plastic affects 400g pack sizes with a use by date of Thursday, May 1. Morrisons has advised no other products have been affected by the issue. Shoppers who have purchased the affected sausages are being urged not to consume them, but to instead return them to their nearest Morrisons store for a full refund even without a receipt. Following its recall, the supermarket giant has since displayed point of sale notices in all stores that sell the products to explain why they are being recalled and what to do if they have been bought. Morrisons said in its notice: "We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and assure customers of our continuing commitment to the highest standard of product quality and safety." The FSA often posts food alerts to alert customers and authorities when there is an issue with a food product. This explains the recall information, providing details of the action that needs to be taken by anyone who has purchased the affected product. The food watchdog also issues alerts when there is a risk to consumers due to missing or inaccurate allergy labelling. These are known as allergy alerts, which we have reported on in the past few weeks. On Wednesday, April 23, Damasgate Wholesale recalled its Sofra Potato Chips Seasoning after it was discovered to contain peanuts, an ingredient not included on the list of ingredients. Posing a potential life-threatening risk to those with a peanut allergy, the recall affected 100g pack sizes, alongside all lot numbers and best before dates. We also reported that the company also issued the same recall for 12 spices earlier in March. Elsewhere at Asda , the Asda Simple To Cook Asian Inspired Pork Belly Slices were mispacked with Asda Simple To Cook Tomato & Mozzarella Pork Meatballs, meaning they contained undeclared milk and sulphites. This meant that the pork belly slices were unsuitable for anyone with an allergy or sensitivity to the milk, milk constituents and also sulphites. Packs affected were 380 with a use by date of Friday, April 25. Asda said in its recall notice: "We are sorry for any inconvenience caused. If you would like further information, please contact Asda Customer Relations - 0800 952 0101." We also recently shared how Aldi customers were warned not to eat the Inspired Cuisine Baby Potatoes with Herbs and Butter after they were found to contain undeclared milk. Packs recalled were 385g with a use by date of Saturday, April 12, 2025. Aldi added: "We apologise that this product did not meet our normal high standards and thank you for your co-operation."

Urgent 'do not eat' warning issued for seasoning that may be life-threatening
Shoppers have been warned that the seasoning is unsafe for anyone with a peanut allergy. Households across the UK have been warned over another food recall. This time it concerns a packet of seasoning that may be life-threatening to some. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued an allergy alert as Damasgate Wholesale has issued a recall for its Sofra Potato Chips Seasoning as it contains peanuts - which has not been declared on the list of ingredients. In the FSA alert, shoppers have been advised that the recall affects all lot numbers and best before dates of 100g pack sizes. When we checked online, we could not find the potato chip seasoning on sale at any major UK supermarket, although it was available to buy from some online retailers for just £2.29 per 100g bag. Shoppers with an allergy to peanuts will find that the undeclared ingredient could potentially trigger a deadly, life-threatening reaction if they consume the seasoning. That's why they have been slapped with a "do not eat" warning. Instead, the FSA recall has advised those with an allergy to return it to the store it was bought from to receive a full refund. For more information, they have been advised to contact either 0208 575 8800 or info@ Damasgate Wholesale has also issued point of sale notices to its customers explaining why the product is being recalled and what to do if it has been bought. The firm has also been urged to contact the relevant allergy support organisations. This is not the first time a product from the wholesale retailer has been affected by undeclared peanuts. We previously reported that 12 of the firm's garlic powders were being recalled due to the same issue. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Similar to the Sofra Potato Chip Seasoning, the recall affected all lot numbers and best before dates of 100g Sofra Garlic Powders. The warning also extended to FSA Ireland, with shoppers also being urged not to consume them due to the potential life-threatening reaction. It's not the only allergy recall we have reported on this week, as Asda's Simple To Cook Asian Inspired Pork Belly Slices were found to possibly contain milk and sulphites after they were mispacked with the Asda Simple To Cook Tomato & Mozzarella Pork Meatballs. The FSA urged shoppers that the recall affected pack sizes of 380g, with the use by date of April 25, 2025. Asda has confirmed no other date codes have been affected. We also warned Aldi shoppers that its Inspired Cuisine Baby Potatoes with Herbs and Butter were being recalled due to undeclared milk, which posed a health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents. The FSA allergy alert advised that the supermarket's recall affected 385g pack sizes with a best before date of April 12, 2025. Shoppers have since been advised to return the product to store for a full refund. What is an allergy alert? An allergy alert is generally issued by the FSA when a problem with a food product means that it should not be sold. It often follows after a product has either been withdrawn from store shelves or recalled after it was discovered to pose a risk to consumers. This could be down to missing or incorrect allergy labelling, or any other food allergy related concern.
