High street supermarkets including the likes of Morrisons, Tesco, Lidl, Waitrose and Co-op, have been among the retailers recalling food items recently. Everything from tinned tuna to pasta sauces, croissants and chicken nuggets have made appearances on the list of items that shoppers have been advised to return to store.
Many of the items have been mis-labelled, meaning that allergy alerts haven't been included on the packaging, others pose a salmonella risk, while some even have the potential to contain small pieces of glass or metal. We've listed some of the most recent alerts below.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) lists the products that pose a risk to consumers. It is a government department responsible for protecting public health in relation to food. It says on its website: "Our fundamental mission is food you can trust".
