Several major retailers and brands have issued urgent food recalls over the past week due to safety concerns, including one product that may contain pieces of metal. The recalls affect a range of items from crisps and fruit to frozen pastries, prompting the Food Standards Agency (FSA) to urge customers to check their purchases and return affected products.
Morrisons Maple & Bacon Back of the Net Recall
Morrisons has recalled its Maple & Bacon Back of the Net sharing snack (140g, best before 22 August 2026) after discovering that certain packs may contain milk not declared on the label. The FSA warns that this poses a health risk to anyone with a milk allergy or intolerance. Morrisons is withdrawing the product from sale and advises customers: "Please do not eat this product and return it to your nearest store for a full refund. We don't need a receipt." No other products are affected.
Icesupp Mango & Passionfruit and Mixed Berries Recall
Icesupp has recalled its Mango & Passionfruit and Mixed Berries products due to a packaging fault that could lead to microbiological contamination. The affected items (86ml/100g packs with various best-before dates from May to October 2027) are stocked in community pharmacies. The FSA advises consumers not to eat these products and to return them for a full refund, with or without a receipt.
Frozen Nutella Croissant Recall Due to Metal Fragments
Ferrero has recalled specific batches of its Frozen Nutella Croissant (4-pack) sold in UK Lidl stores, as well as in Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, Hungary, and Romania, due to the potential presence of metal fragments. The affected batches are L126Z39 (best before 06 May 2027) and L127Z39 (best before 07 May 2027). Ferrero stated: "Ferrero announces the recall of specific batches of its frozen bakery products Nutella Croissant and Nutella Muffin in Europe due to the risk that some products may contain metal fragments. The affected products are limited to specific batches. No other Ferrero product is affected." Customers are urged not to eat the product and to return it for a full refund.
Morrisons Coronation Chicken Pasta Recall
Morrisons has also recalled its Coronation Chicken Pasta (230g, batch code GBB 584 031, use by 30 June 2026) because certain packs may contain Florida Salad, which includes milk not listed on the label. This poses a risk to those with milk allergy or intolerance. Morrisons has issued a point-of-sale notice and advised customers to return the product for a refund.
Prepworld Fruit Products Recall Due to Salmonella
A wide range of Prepworld fruit products have been withdrawn after Salmonella was detected in apples and kiwis used in the packs. The affected products were sold at major supermarkets including Morrisons, Tesco, Asda, Waitrose, M&S, and Sainsbury's, with use-by dates between 23 and 24 June 2026. The FSA warns that Salmonella can cause fever, diarrhoea, and abdominal cramps, and advises anyone experiencing symptoms to stay away from work, school, or nursery for at least 48 hours after symptoms stop. Affected products include ASDA Pink Lady Apple, Mango, Strawberry & Blueberry (220g), Morrisons Kiwi, Melon & Strawberries (220g), Tesco Melon, Kiwi & Strawberry (250g and 125g), Tesco Kiwi Fruit Pot (100g), Waitrose Pink Lady Apple and Grapes (115g), M&S Café Pink Lady Apple (90g), M&S Pink Lady Apple Slices (225g), Sainsbury's Melon, Kiwi & Strawberry (220g), Sainsbury's Orange & Kiwi (240g), Sainsbury's Pink Lady Apple & Grape (240g), and Tesco Fruit Kebabs (290g).
