The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued recall notices asking customers who have bought the affected products to follow the guidance provided by retailers and manufacturers. The warnings cover specific batches and dates, rather than all products from the brands involved.
Waitrose Recalls Chocolate Chip Brioche Rolls over Contamination Risk
Waitrose & Partners is recalling its 8 Chocolate Chip Brioche Rolls because they may contain pieces of hard plastic and metal, making the product unsafe to eat. According to the Food Standards Agency, the recall applies to products with batch code B26177 and a best before date of 26 July 2026.
The affected item was sold in an eight-roll pack, and the recall applies only to this specific batch. Customers who have purchased the product have been advised not to eat it and to return it to their nearest Waitrose & Partners branch for a full refund.
The supermarket has displayed point-of-sale notices in stores selling the product. These notices explain the reason for the withdrawal and provide instructions for customers who may have bought the affected rolls. The FSA said product recalls are issued when there is a problem with a food item that means it should not be sold. A product may be removed from shelves through a withdrawal or recalled when customers are asked to return it.
Tesco and Asda Milk Recall Linked to Veterinary Medicines
Graham’s Family Dairy is recalling its Semi-Skimmed Milk sold in several sizes at Tesco and Asda because veterinary medicines, including antibiotics such as penicillin, have been found in the product. According to the Food Standards Agency, the affected products may pose a health risk for people with an allergy to antibiotics.
The recall covers one pint, one litre and two litre packs of Graham’s Family Dairy Semi-Skimmed Milk, all with a best before date of 31 July 2026. Customers who have bought the affected milk have been told not to consume it and to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Graham’s Family Dairy described the recall as a precautionary measure. The company said there was a small risk that trace levels of antibiotics could be present in the milk, which could cause a reaction for consumers with an allergy to antibiotics.
According to the FSA, withdraw notices are used to inform consumers and local authorities about problems linked to food products. In some cases, a Food Alert for Action may also be issued, providing local authorities with details of actions to take on behalf of consumers.
The latest recalls affect specific products and dates only. Customers are advised to check packaging details carefully and follow the instructions issued by the retailers and manufacturers if they have purchased any of the affected items.
