Shoppers are being warned over products that have been recalled over the past month. Safety fears have meant that several items have been pulled from shelves.
When recalls are announced, whatever the reason may be, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) issues details on what to do. That includes why a product is being recalled and how to deal with it if you've purchased an affected item.
