Product Recall
Sometimes there will be 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 Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).
This page will provide you with information issued by the Food standards Agency (FSA), or Department of Health, about any such products.
