What are FSA allergy alerts and product recalls?
The FSA explains: “Sometimes there will be a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold.

- Warning issued to Asda shoppers as food item declared 'unsafe to eat'
- M&S recall 'stop using this product immediately' due to 'risk of strangulation'
- Do not eat': Tesco warning to shoppers as sausages are 'unsafe to eat'
“Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).
“Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.
“When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA will issue an Allergy Alert.”
