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."

Asda shoppers urged 'do not eat' as product recalled due to packaging error
The supermarket has said it is "sorry for any inconvenience caused." Asda has issued an urgent "do not eat" warning over a popular food item that could pose a health risk to certain customers. The supermarket giant is recalling its Asda Simple To Cook Asian Inspired Pork Belly Slices after a packaging error has meant that they contain two ingredients that have not been declared on the list of ingredients. The pork belly slices may contain milk and sulphites after being "mispacked" with the Asda Simple To Cook Tomato & Mozzarella Pork Meatballs. As a result, they may be unsafe to eat for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to these ingredients. An allergy alert to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has advised shoppers that the recall affects pack sizes of 380g, with the use by date of April 25, 2025. Asda has confirmed no other date codes have been affected. Shoppers who have purchased the product have been urged to not eat it, especially if they have an allergy or intolerance to the additional ingredients. Instead, it can be returned to the nearest store for a full refund with or without a receipt. To help make shoppers aware of the recall, Asda has also issued point of sale notices in all stores that sell the pork belly slices. These will explain why the product has been recalled and what to do if it has been bought. In its recall notice, Asda wrote: "We are sorry for any inconvenience caused. If you would like further information, please contact Asda Customer Relations - 0800 952 0101." In other food recall news, Aldi recently advised shoppers that its Inspired Cuisine Baby Potatoes with Herbs and Butter failed to include milk on its list of ingredients, making it potentially unsafe to eat for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk products.

Asda urgently recall Easter product that could have life-threatening allergens
A major supermarket has issued an urgent recall for a pork belly dish that could contain dangerous allergens that were mislabelled. Asda's Simple To Cook Asian Inspired Pork Belly Slices with a use by date of April 25 could contain milk or sulphites that can provoke potentially fatal allergic reactions. The Food Standards Agency said in a statement: ' Asda is recalling Asda Simple To Cook Asian Inspired Pork Belly Slices because the product may contain milk and sulphites which are not mentioned on the label. 'This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents and/or a sensitivity to sulphur dioxide and/or sulphites.' They added some of the packs have also been mislabelled with Asda Simple To Cook Tomato & Mozzarella Pork Meatballs. Sulphite intolerance can be life-threatening in some cases, particularly for individuals with asthma. While most reactions are mild to moderate, severe reactions can lead to anaphylactic shock, a potentially fatal condition. The FSA stated: "Asda is recalling the above product. Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling this product. "These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product." Asda advised: "If you have purchased Asda Simple to Cook Asian Inspired Pork Belly Slices, use by April 25, please bring it back to your nearest store where you will be given a full refund. You do not need your receipt. No other date codes are affected." Customers seeking further information can contact Asda Customer Relations on 0800 952 0101. It came as another urgent recall was issued to air fryer owners facing the risk of fire. The seller warned that some of models have a manufacturing defect that could cause overheating and even fire.
