Anyone who has bought the product should not eat it and return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund, with or without a receipt.
What is a product recall?
If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be called by the Food Standards Agency.
In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued.
This provides local authorities with details of specific actions to be taken on behalf of consumers.
