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.

Picnic staple sold at Tesco and Sainsbury's recalled due to deadly bacteria
An alert posted by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has urged shoppers not to eat the savoury snack. There's no denying that Scotch eggs are a staple in a UK picnic. However, shoppers might want to think twice before buying some from the supermarket this summer. That's because The Compleat Food Group has issued an urgent recall for two of packs of the popular savoury snack from Wall's after it was discovered they had been contaminated with salmonella. An alert posted by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) advises that products affected are Wall's The Classic Scotch Egg (113g) and Wall's 2 Classic Scotch Eggs (226g), both featuring a use-by date of July 2, 2025. When we checked online, the scotch eggs were previously listed as being sold at major supermarkets Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Iceland, although they look to be out of stock or unavailable. The Compleat Food Group has said that the presence of salmonella in these affected packs is an "isolated incident" and that "no other Wall's products are affected." Salmonella is a common bacteria illness that mainly affects the intestines. It can be contracted after consuming contaminated food or water, with the main causes being undercooked poultry, eggs, and unpasteurized milk. The main symptoms of infection typically include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. Due to the contamination with the bacteria, shoppers have been urged not to eat the affected scotch eggs but to instead return them to store where they will be provided with a full refund, even without a receipt. The Compleat Food group has also since issued point of sale noticed to all retail stores that were selling these products. These explain to customers why they are being recalled and what to do if they have purchased them. The full recall notice read: "We are voluntarily recalling the following Wall's products with a use-by date of 2nd July 2025 only, due to a potential risk of salmonella. "If you have purchased either product, please do not eat it. Return it to store where it was purchased for a full refund - no receipt is required. "This is an isolated incident and no other Wall's products are affected." Customers looking for further assistance and information are being urged to send an email directly to customercare@ It's not the only recall that we have reported on recently, as the FSA also issued a food alert after BM Foods Ltd issued an urgent recall for its Chicken Cooked Meat Trimmings that were sold at Aldi stores in England. Said to possibly contain the presence of plastic, the recall affected 400g pack sizes with the batch code 50328453 and use-by date of July 4, 2025.
