After a high-profile recall of the latest Guinness product soon after its recent launch, baby food and cheese have also been included in the list of potentially dangerous products that are being recalled to supermarkets.
Earlier this week, the beverage giant pulled thousands of cans out of its box Alcohol-free beer Due to concerns about mold contamination of the product.
Another big brand followed suit with popular baby food brand Aptamil urging parents to return some batches of pills, after some packages were found to contain small bits of plastic.
Supermarkets have also had to issue recall notices for proprietary products: At the end of last month, Aldi had to recall all batches of some Poppin ‘Chicken’ products after discovering they had been contaminated with salmonella, while Sainsbury summoned some batches of frozen cooked mussels over salmonella concerns .
Often times, products are withdrawn due to labeling problems which may put some allergic consumers at risk.
However, all of the products on this list have been called up with the most general “Food Alert” warning.
When a product is recalled, the Food Standards Agency shares details about what you should do if you purchased the item, as well as detailed information about why the product was being pulled off the shelves.
Here are the food alerts issued by the Food Standards Agency over the past month for products that remain in effect:
