Over the past week, several food items have been recalled from shop shelves, with shoppers warned not to eat them. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has released a string of allergy alerts, covering products like mince pies, cakes and freezer food, which could be dangerous if consumed.
Some of these contain allergens which aren’t mentioned on the label, and one is unsafe to eat due to the possible presence of salmonella. If you’ve bought any of the items, it’s advised that you do not eat them. Instead, you can return them to the place of purchase and receive a full refund.
