UK supermarket issues 'do not eat' warning as it recalls curry ready meal
The supermarket has pulled some batches of its Indian takeaway for two because some packs have been mispacked Waitrose has recalled one of its own-brand curry ready meals as it could cause allergic reactions. The supermarket has pulled some batches of its Waitrose Indian Takeaway for two because some packs have been mispacked with spring rolls, which contain sesame and soya, and these allergens are not mentioned on the label. This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to sesame or soya. Allergy symptoms can range from skin reactions to the swelling of the lips or face, or vomiting and diarrhea. The pack size that has been recalled is 1412g and the use by date is July 25, 2025. If you have purchased this product, you can return it to your nearest Waitrose for a refund. You can also contact Waitrose customer support on 0800 188 884. In a recall notice published online, Waitrose said: "We are recalling Waitrose Indian Takeaway for two due to undeclared soya and sesame. We apologise that it has been necessary to recall this product and for the inconvenience caused." For all product recalls, you can check the Food Standards Agency and Chartered Trading Standards Institute websites. You should also notice recall notices in stores if they've pulled a product from shelves. It comes after Wall's recalled two products over fears they are contaminated by salmonella. Salmonella can cause fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. The affected products are 113g packs of Wall's The Classic Scotch Egg with a use by date of July 2, and 226g packs of Wall's Two Classic Scotch Eggs, also with the same use by date. Meanwhile, Aldi recalled packs of its own-brand baby potatoes as they could pose a health risk to anyone with an allergy to dairy products.

The potatoes that have been recalled by Aldi have a use by date up to and including July 1, 2025. The barcode is 4061463488152.

The recall applies to all stock with a best before date of December 2025 with the batch code L24337, and best before date of November 2025 with the batch code L24316.

I found 18p Wall's Mini Milk lolly dupe that beats Aldi and Lidl too – and it's MUCH cheaper than the big brand
Check out our tips on saving at the supermarket ICE ICE BABY I found 18p Wall's Mini Milk lolly dupe that beats Aldi and Lidl too – and it's MUCH cheaper than the big brand Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FINDING a treat for kids that isn't loaded with fat and sugar can be challenging. But the Mini Milk is a firm favourite, especially in hot weather. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Lynsey Hope has tested mini milk dupes Credit: Oliver Dixon These classic lollies were first sold in the 1970s and come in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Not only are they lower in sugar and fat than many ice creams, they provide a healthy helping of calcium too. But a pack of ten will now set you back £2.60 making them quite an addition to the weekly bill. Many supermarkets have manufactured own brand versions, but how do they measure up? Lynsey Hope finds out: Wall's Mini Milk £2.60 for 10, 26p each Per 35ml choc lolly: 30 calories, 0.7g fat, 4.1g sugar 7 Wall's lollies are a classic treat for the kids Credit: Oliver Dixon Lovely flavour, especially the vanilla. They are lower in fat and sugar than most own brands so a great option for a kids' treat. My only issue is the price - they cost over 10p more per lolly than Aldi's dupes. Lots of them also snapped as I got them out the packet and the kids then didn't want to eat them so not great value for money. There was a good variety of flavours in the box with four chocolate lollies, three strawberry and three vanilla. No artificial colours, no additives, low calories and high in calcium. Taste: 4/5 Value: 3/5 Total: 7/10 Iconic 80s retro sweet RETURNS to UK supermarket shelves after a decade Sainsbury's 8 Assorted Milk Lollies £1.40 for 8, 17.5p each Per 35ml choc lolly: 35 calories, 0.8g fat, 5g sugar 7 Sainsbury's lollies were crowned the winner Credit: Oliver Dixon Made with whole milk, these lollies were pretty good value. The chocolate in particular was smooth to eat and gone in minutes. Honestly, there was very little difference between these and the Wall's ice creams. The chocolate ones are slightly higher in sugar and fat, and the ice cream had a slightly creamier flavour - but that only made them better. The amazing price and taste meant these were my winner. Taste: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Total: 10/10 Aldi Gianni's Milk Lollies £1.25, 15.6p each Per 35 ml choc lolly: 30 calories, 0.8g fat, 4.4g sugar 7 Aldi was a close runner-up in our test Credit: Oliver Dixon Aldi's milk lollies cost 10p less each than the Wall's ice creams. Whilst it might not sound like a huge saving, the pennies add up. Taste wise they were on point. The chocolate ones had a lovely rich texture and the strawberry flavour were sweet and moreish. The box was emptied in seconds. Great taste, great value - and only 30 calories a lolly so they are a relatively safe option for kids health wise, too. Taste: 4/5 Value: 5/5 Total: 9/10 Asda Assorted Milk Lollies £1.40 for 8, 17.5p each Per 35ml lolly: 55 calories, 2g fat, 4.8g sugar 7 Asda's versions had a lovely flavour Credit: Oliver Dixon Asda's lollies hold their own against the big brand. They had a lovely flavour, if a little solid to eat. But they still had a good saving when compared to the branded Walls' lollies. They do have double the fat content of other brands, but they don't contain any artificial flavours, colours or hydrogenated fats. Taste: 4/5 Value: 4/5 Total: 8/10 Little Jude's Milk Lollies £2.95 for 8, 36.8p each Per choc lolly: 27 calories, 0.8g fat, 2.7g sugar 7 Jude's lollies are a healthier option with less sugar Credit: Oliver Dixon These are a much healthier option with 30% less sugar than other brands. They also have added Vitamin D. Cold, refreshing and full of flavour for a hot day. Pricey at nearly 37p each but a great option for the freezer that won't send the kids hyper. This pack were lighter on the strawberry flavour, with only two in the pack, compared to three chocolate and three vanilla so you may need to bear this in mind if they are a favourite. Taste: 4/5 Value: 4/5 Total: 8/10 Lidl Gelatelli Milk Lollies £1.19 for 8. 14.8p each Per 35ml choc lolly: 30 calories, 0.8g fat, 4.7g sugar 7 Lidl's are a perfect budget-friendly treat for a hot day Credit: Oliver Dixon An amazing price from Lidl, these milk lollies cost less than 15p a pop. They were quite icy when I took them out of the packet and were a little cold and less creamy than the branded lollies. That said, they are a bargain price for struggling families and my little one, Ivy, who is five, still lapped them up. The perfect, budget-friendly treat for a hot day. Taste: 2/5 Value: 5/5 Total: 7/10

Popular fruit urgently recalled due to vomiting, fever and diarrhoea risk
Hundreds of boxes of the common household fruit have been whipped from shelves amid health fears With the summer off to a scorcher in many corners of the world, many will be indulging in a fruit platter or fruit salad to cool them down. However, shoppers should think twice before buying one kind from the supermarket. US health authorities have urgently recalled 400 boxes of blueberries due to fears of bacterial contamination that can lead to vomiting, fever and diarrhoea. Approximately 12,000lbs of organic blueberries produced by Alma Pak International are affected across America, following routine testing by the company which tested positive for listeria. The recall is categorised as Class 1, the most serious level, indicating a likelihood that exposure to the product could result in severe adverse health effects or even death. Listeria can enter the body through the digestive tract and spread to other organs, causing inflammation throughout the body as the immune system responds. Typical symptoms include fever, diarrhoea, vomiting, and aches and pains. While these symptoms are usually mild, they can escalate to more serious illnesses in those who are particularly vulnerable, such as infants, the elderly, pregnant women and individuals with weakened immune systems. In extreme cases, listeria poisoning can lead to life-threatening complications like meningitis and sepsis. The contaminated blueberries were reportedly shipped to a single customer in North Carolina, although the FDA did not specify whether that customer had distributed them further. This week, a similar recall was issued in the UK for scotch eggs feared to be contaminated with salmonella bacteria. The Compleat Food Group issued an urgent recall for two 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 the Record 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 that mainly affects the intestines. It can be contracted after consuming contaminated food or water, with the main causes being undercooked poultry, eggs, and unpasteurised milk. The main symptoms of infection typically include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. And just a few days ago, a chicken product sold by Aldi was recalled over concerns it may contain pieces of plastic. BM Foods Ltd is withdrawing its Chicken Cooked Meat Trimmings from sale due to the possible presence of plastic. This poses a choking hazard making the product unsafe to eat. The recall applies to 400g packs with the batch code 50328453, and has a use-by date of July 4, 2025. Customers are urged not to consume the product and to return it to any Aldi store for a full refund. The Food Standards Agency has issued the following warning: "If you have bought any of the above products do not consume them." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

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.
