Food recalls explained
The FSA said: “If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or an intolerance to gluten or have coeliac disease, do not eat it.

“For more information contact Marks & Spencer on 0333301-48555.”
What is a food recall?
The FSA explains what a food recall is: “If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).
Recommended reading:
“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.”
