The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued an alert regarding this product recall. When a food product is deemed unsafe for sale, it may be either ‘withdrawn’ from shelves or ‘recalled,’ with customers asked to return the product. The FSA provides Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to inform consumers and local authorities about food-related issues. In some instances, a ‘Food Alert for Action’ is issued, outlining specific actions for local authorities on behalf of consumers.
In another development, Waitrose is recalling Waitrose Easy to Cook Scottish Salmon En Croute with Cheese and Chive Sauce and Waitrose Easy to Cook Salmon and Sweet Potato Curry.
