The company has issued a recall notice to its customers. “These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product. “If you have bought the above product do not eat it.
Instead, return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund. For more information, please contact Sainsbury’s Careline Team on 0800 636 262.” Recommended Reading: Tony's Chocolonely recall as chocolate may contain stones 'Do not eat': Products sold at Tesco, Asda, Iceland and more recalled 'Stop using it immediately': Asda apology to customers as product recalled A Sainsbury’s spokesman added: “If you have purchased the product with the affected batch code, please do not consume this product and instead return it to any Sainsbury’s story for a refund.
“No other Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference confectionary products have been affected by this issue. “We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.” 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 If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).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.
