FSA slushie warning
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is warning parents not to let children under the age of seven drink iced slushie drinks this summer if they contain glycerol.
An FSA board meeting this week endorsed the advice and called for clear communication to parents and carers to help manage glycerol intake in young children.
The FSA said: 'Slush ice drinks can contain glycerol as a substitute for sugar to prevent them from freezing solid.
'Consumed at high levels, glycerol can cause very low blood sugar levels and unconsciousness in young children.
The FSA Board meeting begins today at 9am in Birmingham.
Here's the agenda and meeting papers for today's meeting: https://t.co/2qmw9Q5sOL

'Businesses are advised to only add glycerol at the minimum quantity technically necessary to achieve the slush effect.
'While glycerol is found in some other foods, it is added at much lower quantities than in slush ice drinks.'
Lidl recall
Lidl is recalling one of its products because it may contain pieces of metal.
The FSA has warned anyone who has purchased the recalled item not to eat it.
The recall affects Lidl's Harvest Basket Hash Browns.
The impacted hash browns come in packs of 750g, have a best before date of May 24, 2027, and a batch code of 5144L.

'Customers are asked to return this product to the nearest store where a full refund will be given.
'We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your cooperation.'
Chocolate recall
Shoppers who purchased some Dubai-style chocolate products have been warned the food may not meet FSA standards.
Some of the imported Dubai-style products could pose a risk to consumers with allergies, the food safety watchdog warned.
Those with food allergies should be careful when buying the popular chocolate as some imported products may not be intended for sale in the UK and could lack a full ingredients list or allergen labelling, the FSA said.
The watchdog said it had identified a number of products that posed a health risk to consumers with allergies.
Some of these products may also contain additives and colours which are not allowed on the UK market, it added.
The FSA said it was surveying and sampling the products to work out the scale of the issue, and working with allergy charities in the meantime to raise awareness of the risk with consumers.
It said that 'most' Dubai-style chocolate available in UK shops was safe.
The FSA said: 'If in doubt, don't buy it and report any concerns to your local authority.'
By law, labels must list all ingredients and clearly highlight any of the 14 regulated allergens.
The FSA advised consumers to look out for labelling details to check whether a product is intended for sale here.
By law, products made to UK standards should have labels in English containing the name of the food – for example, milk chocolate with pistachio paste filling – a list of ingredients with allergens emphasised, the weight of the food in grams and a best before or use by date.
Labels must also include the name and address of the UK or EU business responsible for the product information. If the food is not from the UK or EU, the name and address of the importer must be included.
Jolly Rancher recall
Multiple Jolly Rancher sweets sold in the UK have been recalled as they contain products that make them 'unsafe to eat' and they do not comply with UK laws, the FSA has warned.
Four Jolly Rancher products have been recalled, as the FSA has told anyone who has bought them not to eat them.
The affected products are the Jolly Rancher Hard Candy, Jolly Rancher 'Misfits' Gummies, Jolly Rancher Hard Candy Fruity 2 in 1, and the Jolly Rancher Berry Gummies.
The recall covers all pack sizes, batch codes, and best before dates of the sweets listed above.
They contain Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons, (MOAH), and Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons, (MOSH), making them unsafe to eat.
Wednesday 11 June 2025. Food Alert "For Action": To Consumers who have purchased and Food Businesses who have purchased and sold Jolly Rancher products manufactured by The Hershey Company #FoodAlert https://t.co/uS1h88ugl1 pic.twitter.com/vsAkPGBUHP — Food Standards Agency (@foodgov) June 11, 2025
The FSA said: 'For consumers, don't buy them, and if you've eaten these products, there should be no immediate cause for concern, as food safety risk is low, but don't eat any more.
'These products contain mineral oil, which isn't allowed in food in the UK and may pose a food safety risk if consumed regularly over a sustained period of time.'
The FSA said that the Hershey Company, who produces Jolly Rancher sweets, had been working collaboratively to remove unsafe products from the UK markets.
It added that while the parent company had decided to stop supplying the UK market in 2024 some businesses still continued to import the products for sale in the UK.
An FSA spokesman said: 'Although the levels consumers are exposed to are likely to be low, they may present a risk to health because they contain Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons, (MOAH), and Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons, (MOSH).
'Consumption of the affected sweets is of toxicological concern, especially in younger age groups and where consumers eat a lot of the products or eat them regularly.
'MOAH can cause damage to DNA and has the potential to increase the risk of cancer, particularly if consumed in high quantities over a prolonged period of time. MOAH is a genotoxic carcinogen, therefore no exposure is without risk to human health.
'We are asking enforcement authorities to make immediate contact with businesses who may have been supplied with or received the affected products, and to take action to ensure that the non-compliant and potentially unsafe products are withdrawn from the market and where sold at retail, recalled.
'We are also asking the Local Authorities to inform the FSA of product recall and withdrawal actions.
'If you have bought any of the above products, do not eat them. Instead, dispose of them at home.
'If you are concerned, notify your Trading Standards department or environmental health department in the local authority you purchased it.'
Tony's recall
Popular chocolate bars sold at a number of UK supermarkets have been recalled as they may contain 'small stones'.
Tony's Chocolonely is recalling certain batches of two of its chocolate products because of the 'potential presence of foreign objects'.
The chocolate bars which may contain the small stones are the Dark Almond Sea Salt Bar 180g and the Everything Bar 180g.
Only certain product codes of the chocolate are being recalled.

'Whilst the probability of a product being affected is low, we always put the safety and satisfaction of our consumers first and that is why we have made the decision to recall these products.
'We apologise to consumers and our partners for the impact this will have.
'This recall only affects these specific products and lot codes. All other Tony's Chocolonely products remain safe to consume and are not impacted.
'Do you have a bar with the impacted lot number(s)? Please don't eat the chocolate. Instead, we kindly ask you that you return the product to the store where you bought it for a refund or replacement.'
Tesco recall
Tesco has recalled one of its products from supermarket shelves across the UK because they may pose a health risk to customers.
The supermarket giant has recalled one of its Tesco Free From Meal Kits because they contain undeclared soya.
The presence of soya, not mentioned on the label, makes them a potential health risk for anyone with an allergy to soya.
The affected products are the Tesco Free From Katsu Curry Meal Kit, affecting all products with a best before date up to and including December 12.

A spokesman for the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said: 'Tesco is recalling the above products from customers and has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.
'The company has also issued a recall notice to its customers.

'If you have purchased any of the above product, DO NOT eat it.'

'If you have bought the above product we advise you do not consumer it.
'We sincerely regret any inconvenience caused to our customers.'
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.

Brits urgently warned 'do not eat' Dubai chocolate that could cause a deadly reaction
Retailers selling the chocolate have been advised to "immediately stop sales." Dubai chocolate has been all the rage this year. With millions of TikTok views, the viral confectionary has been flying off the shelves pretty much everywhere. However, shoppers have just been slapped with an urgent "do not eat" warning for one popular version of the sweet, as it has been found to contain an undeclared ingredient that could cause a deadly reaction for some consumers. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) recently posted a "food alert for action" for the Neosis Schokolade Love of Dubai chocolate as the product contains peanuts, meaning it poses a health risk to anyone with an allergy to them. The recall affects all lot numbers and best before dates of the 95g chocolate bar. An allergy to peanuts is one of the most common causes of anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction to certain foods, with symptoms showing up within minutes of consumption. In response, the FSA has urged UK businesses selling the Neosis Schokolade to "immediately stop sales" and to "undertake product withdrawals." Retailers who have already made any sales are being advised to issue product recalls that will alert customers on what to do if they have bought it. Businesses were said to have been supplied with the product from a company called Black Sea trading who have "so far been uncontactable", which is why the FSA has advised food safety action is now required by businesses selling it. Those who have purchased the sweet treat, and have an allergy to peanuts, have been told "do not eat it". Instead, they are being urged to dispose of the product at home. They have also been advised to get in touch with their local Trading Standards in Great Britain or Environmental Health Officers in Northern Ireland, letting them know where the product was purchased from. The FSA also said in its alert: "We are working closely with relevant enforcement authorities to progress investigations and ensure affected products are withdrawn from the market and, where sold at retail, recalled. We are informing allergy organisations of the issue." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

It comes after the FSA previously urged anyone with allergies to "exercise caution" when consuming the viral chocolate bar, as it found that some versions may not have been intended for UK sale, leading to a lack of full allergen labelling or ingredients list. Back in June, the food watchdog said it had "identified" a number of products that do not meet the UK's high food safety standards, with concerns they may contain additives and colours which aren't allowed on the UK market. At that time, the firm was "surveying" and "sampling" the affected products to work out the scale of the issue, while also working with allergy charities to raise awareness of the potential risk with consumers. By UK law, imported foods intended for sale must contain all the ingredients and clearly highlight any of the 14 regulated allergens. Professionals working for the food safety firm advised customers to stick with trusted UK retailers when purchasing Dubai-style chocolate, as they have been made for the UK and will most likely be safe to eat.

BREAKING NEWS Do not eat warning issued as cult chocolate bar is pulled from shelves amid fears it could kill
A cult Dubai chocolate bar has been urgently recalled by UK food safety chiefs over fears it could trigger fatal allergic reactions. The Neosis Schokolade Love of Dubai bar, a foil-wrapped sweet sold in independent shops and online, contains undeclared peanuts, according to food safety officials. The product is part of a wave of imported Middle Eastern-style chocolates that have surged in popularity thanks to social media—but concerns are growing that many of these bars fail to meet UK food safety standards. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued a 'do not eat' warning and ordered an immediate recall, saying the 95g bar poses a serious risk to people with a peanut allergy. All batch codes and best-before dates are affected. The bar is manufactured in Turkey and distributed in Britain by Black Sea Trading Ltd—a company the FSA said has so far been uncontactable. Officials are working with local authorities to ensure the product is removed from sale, and are advising anyone who has purchased it to dispose of it and report where it was bought. Undeclared peanuts can cause anaphylaxis—a rapid, life-threatening allergic reaction that causes the throat to swell, often leading to unconsciousness or death within minutes. More to follow.

Viral ‘Dubai-style chocolate' bar is urgently recalled over dangerous health risk as shoppers warned ‘do not eat'
Shoppers told not to buy or eat the chocolate CHOC RETURN Viral 'Dubai-style chocolate' bar is urgently recalled over dangerous health risk as shoppers warned 'do not eat' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A VIRAL Dubai-style chocolate bar has been urgently recalled over a dangerous health risk. Shoppers have been warned not to eat the popular sweet treat. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Dubai Chocolate Noesis Love Of Dubai contains peanuts Credit: NOESIS The Food Standards Agency warned that the Neosis Schokolade Love of Dubai chocolate contains peanuts. But this is not mentioned on the label, making it a possible health risk to anyone with an allergy to the nut. Shops selling the chocolate are warned to "immediately stop sales and to undertake product withdrawals." "The product presents a serious risk to anyone with an allergy to peanuts," the FSA said. Businesses have been supplied these products by a company called Black Sea Trading Ltd, "who have so far been uncontactable". The FSA added: "Don't buy this product, and if you have bought it, don't eat it, especially if you have a peanut allergy. "Dispose of the product at home and get in touch with your local Trading Standards in Great Britain or Environmental Health Officers in Northern Ireland, to let them know where you purchased it." It comes after Aldi urgently recalled one of its summer freezer staples after the product's label failed to declare a major allergen. The recall has been issued for its Specially Selected 4 Cheddar Cheese Scotch Beef Quarter Pounder Burgers. Retailing for £3.29, the burgers failed to disclose gluten as an allergen on the product's label. This poses a risk to those who are gluten intolerant or suffer from coeliac disease. Aldi has urged customers to not consume the product if they have an allergy or intolerance to gluten. And a breakfast pastry has also been urgently recalled from all UK stores over contamination fears with shoppers warned to "not eat" the product. Woodstock Vanilla Creme Crowns, made by Woodstock Foods, have been pulled from shelves after it was discovered they could trigger life-threatening allergic reactions. The product could contain hazelnuts that are not listed on the label, said the Food Standards Agency (FSA). The FSA warned that the product is a "possible health risk" for anyone with an allergy to hazelnuts. Hazelnuts are known to cause severe and sometimes fatal reactions in sensitive individuals. Shoppers have been told the recall affects packs of 12 (50g each) with the batch code 224934 and a best before date of January 2026.
