Morrisons has recalled selected batches of its Savers Cashews after concerns that some packs may contain pieces of glass. Customers who purchased the affected product have been advised not to consume it and to return it to a store for a refund.
The recall applies to specific 125g packs sold in England, Scotland and Wales. According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), the issue makes the product potentially unsafe to eat and point-of-sale notices are being displayed in affected stores.
Morrisons has issued the recall following concerns involving a popular snack product sold under its Savers range. The action affects only designated batches and does not extend to other items.
Food recalls of this type are intended to remove products from circulation where there may be a risk to consumers. According to the FSA, recalls are used to notify both consumers and local authorities when food products should no longer be sold.
Affected Batches Removed as Customers Advised Not to Eat Product
The recall concerns Morrisons Savers Cashews in 125g packs with best before dates of 9 August 2026, 6 September 2026, 26 September 2026, 28 September 2026 and 9 October 2026.
According to the Food Standards Agency’s product recall notice, the reason for the action is the possible presence of glass in the product. The agency stated that this risk means the cashews may be unsafe to eat.
Customers who have already bought the affected packs are being told not to consume them. Morrisons has instructed shoppers to return the product to their nearest store, where a full refund will be provided.
Point-of-sale notices are being displayed in stores selling the product. The notices explain the reason for the recall and provide guidance to customers who may have purchased the affected batches.
A Morrisons spokesperson said: “No other products are affected by this issue. “We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and assure customers of our continuing commitment to the highest standard of product quality and safety.”
Food Safety Process Aims to Remove Products Presenting a Risk
The FSA explained that recalls and withdrawals are used when a food product should not remain on sale. A withdrawal refers to removing products from shelves, while a recall involves asking customers to return items they may already have purchased.
According to the agency, Product Recall Information Notices are issued to alert consumers and local authorities to food-related concerns. In certain circumstances, a Food Alert for Action may also be issued to support enforcement measures.
The recall notice also outlined the potential consumer response process, making clear that affected products should not be eaten under any circumstances and should instead be returned. Separate reporting referenced another recall involving cashew products in late 2025, when batches of roasted and salted cashews sold by Poundland were removed from sale over similar concerns relating to possible glass contamination.
For the current Morrisons recall, the FSA reference number listed on the notice is FSA-PRIN-25-2026, and the advice to consumers remains unchanged: do not consume the affected cashew packs and return them for a refund.
