This is due to mislabelling or the potential presence of foreign bodies. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) orders recalls for various reasons, such as unlisted allergens or non-food materials found in products.

If an item is recalled, the FSA provides advice on what consumers should do and explains why the product has been withdrawn.Generally, getting a refund is easy, with the need for a receipt often waived.
