'Do Not Eat' Warnings as Recalls Issued at Asda, Tesco, Waitrose and More
The recalls cover chocolates, milk and a frozen dessert, with officials warning of undeclared milk, soya and hazelnuts and fewer than 10 affected Gü units.
The Food Standards Agency has issued urgent recalls for milk, chocolate, and dessert products across the UK due to undeclared allergens and potential veterinary medicine contamination affecting multiple consumers.
On July 22, Graham's Family Dairy recalled semi-skimmed milk due to trace penicillin levels, warning customers the product is "unsafe to consume." The contamination poses risks to those with antibiotic allergies.
Following the July 25 announcement, Bon Bons Wholesale Ltd pulled chocolate products from shelves, telling shops to "remove them from sale" due to undeclared milk and soya. Multiple product variants were affected.
Shoppers at Tesco and Waitrose were issued "do not eat" warnings for the Gü Double Sea Salted Caramel Frozen Dessert because it may contain undeclared hazelnuts and soya. Fewer than 10 units were believed affected.
Officials advise consumers to check best-before dates and return affected items to retailers for refunds. Companies have issued point-of-sale notices to notify customers of the safety precautions.
