The Food Standards Agency has warned customers not to eat several products sold by Tesco, M&S and Waitrose due to contamination and labelling errors.

The Food Standards Agency and Norfolk Trading Standards have issued multiple food recalls affecting products at major UK supermarkets. The warnings follow the discovery of salmonella contamination, labelling errors and undeclared allergens in various items.

Greencore is recalling five products from Tesco and M&S due to salmonella found in pistachio nuts. From Tesco, these include Pinch Pan Poppin' Chicken Pasanda and Nutty Pilau Rice, and Pinch Bangin' Butter Chicken and Nutty Pilau Rice, with use-by dates up to October 10. M&S products affected are Super Nutty Wholefood with Soy & Ginger Dressing and Nutrient Dense Nutty Super Wholefood (use-by dates to October 10 and 11 respectively), and Fresh Collection Pistachio Pesto (use-by date to October 13).

Waitrose is recalling its 115g tuna pâté due to a labelling error showing the use-by date as December 17, 2026, when the correct date is October 17, 2026. Customers have also been urged to return a flavour of Pot Noodle due to a misprinted label. Anyone who has purchased affected products should not consume them and should return the items to the store where purchased for a full refund.
