Asda, Tesco, Waitrose and more issue recall warnings

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued "do not eat" warnings for potentially unsafe items due to potential health risks.

Customers who may have purchased affected products are being advised not to consume them.

Officials say anyone who has bought the products should follow recall guidance, which may include returning items for a refund or disposing of them safely.

Chocolate Recall

A range of chocolate products sold in England, Scotland and Wales have been removed from UK shelves due to health concerns.

Bon Bons Wholesale Ltd has recalled various chocolate products due to the concerns, telling shops stocking the items to “remove them from sale”, while the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has told shoppers, “Do not eat”.

The items have been recalled because they may contain milk and soy which are not mentioned on the label, making them a potential health risk for anyone with allergies.

An FSA spokesman said: “These products contain milk and soya making them a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents and/or an allergy to soya.”

The recall applies to the following products:

• Graham's Family Dairy Semi-Skimmed Milk - one pint
• Graham's Family Dairy Semi-Skimmed Milk - one litre
• Graham's Family Dairy Semi-Skimmed Milk - two litres

To check the milk, look out for the best before date of July 31, 2026.

Graham's Family Dairy said: "At Grahams Family Dairy we believe that the quality of our products and the safety of our consumers is paramount.

"This is a precautionary measure we have taken as there is a small risk a trace level of antibiotics may be present in the milk which could cause a reaction to consumers with an allergy to antibiotics."

Gü recall

Shoppers at Tesco and Waitrose have been issued a “do not eat” warning after a Gü dessert was recalled.

The Gü Double Sea Salted Caramel Frozen Dessert, sold at Tesco and Waitrose, has been removed from supermarket shelves because it may contain hazelnuts and soya not mentioned on the label.

As a result, the dessert is a health risk to anyone with an allergy to nuts or soya.

The affected product has a lot number of 126135 and a best before date of June 30, 2027.

A spokesman for the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said: “Gü is recalling the above product from customers and has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall. 

“These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.

“If you have bought the above product and have an allergy to hazelnuts (nuts) and/or soya do not eat it. Instead return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.

“No receipt required. For more information, please contact recall@gupuds.com .”

A Gü spokesman added: “The issue is limited to a very small number of products (believed to be less than 10 units). However, as a precautionary measure and in line with our commitment to consumer safety, the affected date code is being recalled.

“We have taken proactive steps to further mitigate the issue, including strengthened allergen and packing controls within production.

“We believe the majority of consumers who purchased the affected products will already have been contacted or notified.”

What is a product recall?

If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).

The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.

In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued.

This provides local authorities with details of specific actions to be taken on behalf of consumers.
