Customer food recall warnings at Asda, Tesco and Waitrose

Published

Customer food recall warnings at Asda, Tesco and Waitrose

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued “do not eat” notices for potentially unsafe items due to potential health risks.

Customers are advised not to consume the products and to follow recall guidance, which may include returning the items for a refund or disposing of them safely.



Tesco, Asda and Waitrose product recalls you should know about

Waitrose recall

A popular bakery item sold at Waitrose is being recalled due to fears it may contain hard plastic and metal pieces.

The supermarket chain is recalling its eight-pack of Chocolate Chip Brioche Rolls.

Customers are being warned that the item could be “unsafe to eat,” and if you have bought the affected product, you should package it up and send it back to your local Waitrose shop for a refund.

The FSA has warned shoppers “do not eat it.”

The recall only applies to one batch of Chocolate Chip Brioche Rolls.

To check a pack of the brioche rolls, look out for the batch code B26177 and the best before date of July 26, 2026.

Tesco and Asda recall

A popular dairy item sold at Tesco and Asda is being recalled due to the risk that veterinary medicines, including antibiotics (penicillin), could be found in it.

Graham’s Family Dairy is recalling the Graham’s Family Dairy Semi-Skimmed Milk of various sizes.

Advertisement

Customers are being warned that the items could be “unsafe to consume” and if you have bought the affected products, you should return them to where you bought them for a refund.

The FSA has warned shoppers “do not consume” the milk.

The recall applies to the following products:

Advertisement
  • Graham’s Family Dairy Semi-Skimmed Milk – one pint
  • Graham’s Family Dairy Semi-Skimmed Milk – one litre
  • Graham’s Family Dairy Semi-Skimmed Milk – two litres

To check the milk, look out for the best before date of July 31, 2026.

Graham’s Family Dairy said: “At Grahams Family Dairy we believe that the quality of our products and the safety of our consumers is paramount.

“This is a precautionary measure we have taken as there is a small risk a trace level of antibiotics may be present in the milk which could cause a reaction to consumers with an allergy to antibiotics.”

What is a product recall?

The FSA explains what a product recall is: “If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).

“The FSA issues Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.

“In some cases, a ‘Food Alert for Action’ is issued.

“This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.”

Five dogs looking for new homes at RSPCA Great Ayton

From energetic companions looking for outdoor adventures to affectionate pets eager for a cosy place to settle down, the dogs currently in the charity’s care are all waiting for their forever homes.

Here’s a look at five of the dogs at the RSPCA’s Great Ayton branch hoping to find their perfect match.

Kassie

Kassie is a five-year-old Border Collie looking for a loving forever home after being rescued from unsuitable conditions. The friendly and affectionate dog could live with children aged 12 and over and may also be able to share her home with another dog.

Like most Border Collies, Kassie enjoys exercise and mental stimulation and would benefit from owners who can spend plenty of time with her.

Mitsy

Mitsy is a sweet senior lurcher, around 11-years-old, searching for a loving new home after arriving at the centre with her companion, Sox.

Described as gentle and sensitive, she enjoys plenty of affection and can usually be found curled up on a comfy bed or sofa. Mitsy could live with children of primary school age and may be able to share her new home with another dog, or even be rehomed alongside Sox.

She would suit a home where someone is around for much of the day and where she can enjoy the comfort and companionship she loves.

Sox

Sox is a nine-year-old Lurcher who may be a senior dog, but is still full of life. Staff say the he is “young at heart” and has become increasingly playful since arriving at the centre, enjoying toys, interaction with handlers and zooming around enclosed paddocks.

Sox could live with children of primary school age and may also be able to share a home with another dog, or be rehomed with Mitsy. He is looking for a home with plenty of space where he can continue to enjoy life and show off his playful side.

Stella

Stella is a two-year-old American Bulldog cross searching for a second chance after an abusive start in life.

Despite her difficult past, staff describe her as a sweet, affectionate dog who loves people and enjoys nothing more than cuddling up on the sofa. Stella is full of energy, loves toys and treats, and would benefit from gentle, reward-based training.

She could live with secondary school-aged children but would prefer to be the only pet in the home. Stella also requires a specialist urinary diet to help manage an ongoing health condition.

Marley

Marley is a three-year-old Greyhound looking for a patient home where he can continue to build his confidence.

The handsome youngster arrived at the centre significantly underweight but has since made a full recovery and is now ready to find his forever family. Staff say Marley walks well on the lead, settles nicely indoors and should eventually be comfortable being left for short periods.

He would be best suited as the only pet in a household and is looking for owners willing to continue his training around other dogs. Described as a sweet-natured dog who has been through a lot, Marley is hoping for a calm home where he can finally relax and enjoy life.

‘Nazi salutes’ spotted at far-right protest in Glasgow as scenes slammed

Published

on

Daily Record

Stand Up To Racism have bashed alleged “Nazi salutes” made during a far-right protest in Glasgow Green.

“Nazi salutes” pictured at a far-right protest in Glasgow Green, which clashes between opposing groups, have been slammed by anti-racist activists.

Advertisement

Ugly scenes broke out at the demonstration attended by around 1700 people organised by the Unite the Clans group at 11am on Saturday after protestors clashed with a counter-demo arranged by Stand Up To Racism (SUTR) and Women Against The Far Right. Police Scotland have so far arrested 15 people with incidents of disorder.

The offences include acts of violence, possession of weapons, breach of the peace, obstruction, resisting arrest disorder, intimidation and hate motivated offences. Photographs from the rally show attendees, some of which wearing balaclavas, performing what appear to be Nazi salutes.

The gestures have been pictured being made amid Scotland and Union Jack flags.

Advertisement

One of the organisers of the counter-protest, SUTR, have bashed the scenes online. In a statement released on their social media platforms they said: “Multiple Nazi salutes openly on display” before going on to slam those involved in the far-right protest.

Extensive enquiries are underway into the disorder and officers will be reviewing CCTV, mobile phone and dashcam footage, and capturing statements to identify those responsible.

Chief Superintendent Emma Croft earlier hit out at those attendees and promised those involved in the disorder to expect a police presence at their homes.

Advertisement

She said: “The level of disorder, violence and intimidation we saw in Glasgow on Saturday was nothing short of disgraceful.

“People have the right to express their views lawfully and to protest peacefully, however the behaviour we saw from those involved in the disorder was not legitimate protest but rather acts of aggression to cause fear in our communities.

“A significant investigation is already underway and my message is clear – if you were involved in these deplorable acts, you should expect our officers to be knocking on your door.

“We understand how concerning witnessing the disorder must have been and we would urge any members of the public with information, including mobile phone and dashcam footage, to please pass this on to us.

Advertisement

“We will continue to have a visible policing presence in the city centre and surrounding areas. Anyone with any concerns can approach our officers out on patrol who will be happy to assist.”

A Major Incident Public Portal (MIPP) has now been set up to encourage members of the public to submit information directly to officers. Those with footage or photos of criminality related to the disorder in Glasgow on Saturday are encouraged to upload it using the online form here: https://mipp.police.uk/operation/SCOT26S14-PO1

Information can also be passed to Police Scotland via 101 quoting Operation Cornstarch. Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.

Wickes confirmed to take over former Cineworld site in Leigh

Wickes confirmed to take over former Cineworld site in Leigh

Plans have been submitted by Wickes for a new store at the Loom Retail Park in Spinning Jenny Way, Leigh.

The move comes after plans were approved earlier this month to transform the vacant former Cineworld into a unit for “bulky goods” retail.

Realty Income Limited submitted the initial plans to Wigan Council earlier this year to convert the site into a shop supplying DIY, trade, and home improvement products.

Advertisement

Mark Craft from Wickes and Alex Yates from Sovereign Signs are now steering the proposal for new signs for the upcoming store.

The plans include a series of new signs, including internally lit fascia signs, and a free-standing directional sign measuring 2 metres by 1.8 metres, made from galvanised steel and aluminium.

The new signs are expected to remain in place until June 2030 if the proposal is green-lighted.

The illuminated signs will emit a steady light at 250 cd/m.

Advertisement

Prepared by Sovereign Signs, the proposal acknowledges that they would be noticeable from public roads and pathways.

According to the document, no external consultations were undertaken regarding the notice, and no advice was sought beforehand from the local authority.

The application was registered on June 25 and received validation on July 15.

For those interested in seeing the plans, they’re available on the Wigan Council planning portal quoted under reference number A/26/101121/ADV.

Advertisement

The plans for the former Cineworld to become a retail unit for bulky goods were approved by Wigan Council recently.

The former Cineworld, which has been empty since January 2025, is to be transformed to accommodate a shop supplying DIY, trade, and home improvement products.

Alterations include the addition of new roller shutters, revised windows, and the establishment of a service yard next to the building to handle deliveries from large vehicles.

The name of the shop wasn’t confirmed in those plans, but the new signage plans confirm that Leigh is getting a Wickes store.

Plans for new activity centre at ‘best’ Cambridgeshire park take step forward

Published

on

Cambridgeshire Live

The plans were scaled back earlier this year due to costs ‘soaring’

Plans to build a new activity centre at one of the best parks in the UK have taken a major step forward. In 2021, the Nene Park Trust had plans approved to build a new indoor activity centre in the former Lakeside car park in Ferry Meadows, Peterborough.

Advertisement

Ferry Meadows recently retained its status as one of the best parks in the UK, as it was awarded the Green Flag status.

The original plans included an Olympic-standard climbing facility and all-weather indoor activity centre. In May of this year, these plans were scaled back due to rising costs.

The trust proposed a “smaller, less expensive building”. The plans have now taken a major step forward, as the Nene Park Trust has officially submitted its plans to Peterborough City Council.

Matthew Bradbury, chief executive of Nene Park Trust said: “We’re confident that these revised plans for the activity centre at Ferry Meadows offer an exciting development for the park and the city of Peterborough.

Advertisement

“As a charity, our objective is to provide recreation for the public through the park and its facilities, both for Peterborough’s residents and all our visitors and through the activity centre we would be able to offer indoor recreation, in all weathers, all year round.

“Climbing – especially bouldering – is a growing sport across the UK – and as it now features in the Olympics it’s great that we can support aspiring climbers of all ages to fulfil their dreams.”

The trust held a public information event in April, which resulted in a “mixed response” to the new plans. However, the response was largely positive.

Following the consultation, the trust has made some changes to the internal plans. The trust has been working with Butcher Bayley Architects (BBA) on the proposals.

Advertisement

Luke Butcher, co-founder and director of BBA said: “We’re pleased to have supported Nene Park Trust in developing the revised plans for the Lakeside Activity Centre.

“Responding to a changing funding and construction landscape has meant designing a simpler, more efficient building, but the ambition is undimmed: a welcoming, year-round home for climbing, activity and play, sitting comfortably in its lakeside setting.

“As a practice with deep Peterborough roots, we’re proud to be shaping a building that will open up new leisure opportunities for Ferry Meadows and the wider city.”

The first phase of the build will offer an indoor roped climbing wall, as well as bouldering. The plans also propose a small cafe, children’s play area, small gym and accessible changing rooms.

Jeremy Wilson, founder of Lakeland Climbing Community, partners on the internal design and management of the activity centre said: “We are thrilled to be working with Nene Park Trust on this Peterborough project. The location, park setting and architect-designed building are an amazing backdrop for what we hope to create at the heart of the scheme. We have been really impressed by the team and look forward to working closely with them to bring this project to fruition.”

Subject to approval and remaining funding being secured, construction is set to begin in early 2027. The opening date for the first phase of the centre is proposed to be in early 2028.

Angie Best shares sad health update on birthday after cancer battle

Published

Daily Mirror

Angie Best took to social media on her 74th birthday to share a health update after recently declaring that she was cancer-free and admitted she needs further operations

Angie Best needs to undergo two more operations following her cancer battle. The model, 74, recently underwent treatment for Stage 3 colon cancer and recently announced she had beaten the disease.

Advertisement

But, as she celebrated her birthday on Sunday and thanked fans for their well-wishses, she revealed that whilst she is still “cancer-free,” she still needs to undergo medical interention on her liver.

Speaking in a video posted to Instagram, she said: “I just want to say a very big heartfelt thankyou to all of you who wished me a happy 74th birthday. So, I just have to clear a little something up.

“So, you know I told you I was cancer-free? Well I am – except I’ve got the bits in my liver that are cells that metastasised from the colon to the liver.

“I’ve got some little ones on the left hand side and some big ones on the right hand side.. They have to be got rid of, so I’ve got two liver operations to do and then I’m done, so, wish me luck – again!”

She captioned the post: “I played down the liver ops but will update what they are later.” The former wife of late footballer George Best was instantly supported by fans in the comments section of her post, with one writing: “happy birthday wishes angie [red heart emoji] keep your eye on the prize, what would you like to do post op…”

Another said: “Sending love and hugs your way and hope it all goes smoothly for you,” whilst a third reminded the former Celebrity Big Brother star: “You are so strong.”

Advertisement

Before revealing that she was cancer-free, Angie announced that the cancer had spready to her liver. She underwent an intensive plan of treatment in order to remove the tumours.

Angie, whose son is TV personality Calum Best, posted a video explaining how her cancer journey has gone, the final step in her treatment plan and revealing how she wants to “reinvent” herself now she’s been given the rest of her life back.

Advertisement

Speaking in an Instagram video, she explained the full process, captioning the clip: “Bit different from all the miserable videos of the last 7 months. I’m a truly happy grateful girl, it’s over.”

The star revealed that she was discharged from hospital after having keyhole surgery (laparoscopy) to remove the last part of the cancer.

She said: “The chemo and the immunotherapy prior had shrunk my 30cm lump down to a little tiny bit that was attached to the colon. They shrunk it, now we go in and cut it out…

“A bit like an interior designer coming in and moving the furniture around, but it still works. So then it’s done, they sew you up, then they wait three days, and in those three days, they give you fluids only.

Advertisement

“So of course I lost so much weight, this is why I look so drawn, but I’m not worried about that because I’ve just been eating some shrimp tempura and I’m gonna gain that weight back again without no worries about that. On the fourth day, they give you your first meal, a very sensible meal, all white.

“And then they wait for the next morning to see if you go to the bathroom. I did. And again the next day and again the next day, so everything was working as it should perfectly in my little colon.”
