Supermarkets across the country have withdrawn food items including cooked chicken, chocolate and lager amid fears they could prove a hazard to some people's health, with the Food Standards Agency (FSA) issuing alerts about items including chicken goujons, pastries, pasta, beer and fish, reports KentLive.
Product recalls occur when there may be an issue with the food item that means it should not be sold - this could be in relation to various potential dangers including contamination, misleading or incorrect labels and allergens.
Reasons for the current recalls include erroneous ingredients, contaminants including small pieces of glass and metal, and wrong 'use-by' dates. The items to be recalled include food and drink from leading supermarkets including Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Lidl, Aldi, Co-op, Iceland and Waitrose.
