Food Recalls Involve Listeria, E. Coli and Undeclared Allergens<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Three chilled pasta products manufactured by Greencore <\/strong>have been recalled because of possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The affected products are Asda Cheese & Tomato Pasta Salad<\/strong>, 300g, with product code 5063089221990 and a use-by date of 10 August 2026; Asda Nacho Cheese Pasta Salad,<\/strong> 500g, code 5063717198311, with a use-by date of 9 August; and Morrisons Chicken and Bacon Pasta<\/strong>, 300g, code 5010251790587, dated 7 August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listeria infection can cause symptoms including high temperature, muscle pain, chills, nausea and diarrhoea. It may present more serious risks to pregnant women, newborn babies, older people and those with weakened immune systems. Consumers have been told not to eat the recalled pasta products and to return them to Asda or Morrisons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A.Vogel Ltd is also recalling Rapunzel bioSnacky Das Original Red Clover Seeds for Sprouts and Seedlings <\/strong>after STEC E. coli was detected. The recall applies to 30g packs from batch 11293 with a best-before date of December 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consumers have been told neither to eat the seeds nor attempt to grow them. STEC <\/a>infection can cause severe diarrhoea and abdominal pain and, in some cases, haemolytic uraemic syndrome, which can affect the kidneys. Lay\u2019s Sour Cream & Dill Crisps<\/strong> sold through Home Bargains are also being withdrawn because milk and wheat are not declared on the packaging. The recall applies to 125g packs with best-before dates up to and including 31 October 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Household Products Recalled Over Injury, Fire and Chemical Risks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Marks and Spencer has withdrawn a hand-painted blue-tinted glass jug <\/strong>decorated with leaves after concerns that the glass could shatter during normal use. The product was found not to meet requirements under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005. Owners have been advised to stop using it and return it to an M&S store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B&Q has issued a recall <\/a>for a tabletop fan because a fault in its oscillation mechanism may damage internal wiring, creating risks of electric shock and fire. The affected model is FT23A, barcode 5063022605689, covering batch numbers 25W50, 26W05 and 26W11. Consumers should unplug the fan and return it to B&Q.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 25-pack of blue Eurowrap party balloons <\/strong>has also been recalled after excessive levels of N-nitrosamines and N-nitrosatable substances were identified. Regulators classified the issue as a serious chemical risk because the substances are carcinogenic and children may be exposed by touching the balloons or placing them in their mouths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The affected balloons carry batch number 5330002193 and product code 12924-BCC. Consumers have been advised to stop using them, keep them away from children and return them to the retailer.
