Multiple retailers recall food and footwear over safety hazards

Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 06:00 · Archive

Imported eggs linked to 36 salmonella cases have been withdrawn from UK stores.

UK retailers including Asda, Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Next have issued multiple product recalls this week following safety alerts from national regulators.

The Food Standards Agency ordered the withdrawal of shell eggs imported from Ukrainian producer Yasensvit Ltd that bear the stamp code 3UA1012066. These eggs are linked to 36 salmonella cases across England. Food safety officials have instructed consumers to throw away any eggs carrying this stamp and dispose of them safely at home. The contaminated eggs were supplied primarily to wholesalers and the catering sector, though officials warned some reached independent convenience stores and small shops. Watchdogs confirmed that eggs sold in major UK supermarkets are produced in Britain and are completely unaffected by the outbreak.

Waitrose has apologised to customers after recalling 115g tubs of Waitrose Tuna Pâté sold across England due to a date labelling error. Packs display an incorrect use-by date of December 17, 2026, instead of the correct date of October 17, 2026. Food safety regulators warned that the error makes the pâté unsafe to eat after October 17. Customers are urged not to consume the affected tubs and should return them to their nearest Waitrose store for a full refund. The Waitrose Customer Care line is available on 0800 188 884 for enquiries.

Halo Foods Ltd has recalled batches of snack bars sold at Asda and Sainsbury's because of an undeclared peanut allergy hazard. The recalls also cover other products with packaging mix-ups involving undeclared gluten and footwear with fall hazards, though further details of these recalls were not specified in the available information.
