Action taken by the company
Bakkavor is recalling the above product from Sainsbury's stores. Product recall notices have been displayed in stores that sell the product, explaining to customers the reason for recall and the actions they can take if they have bought the affected product.
Advice to consumers
If you have bought the above product, do not eat it. Instead take it back to the retailer where you will be given a full refund.
About product recalls and withdrawals
If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food. In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued. This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.
