Tesco and other supermarket giants have recalled products amid safety fears this week.
When a product is recalled, for any reason, the Food Safety Agency (FSA) shares details on what you should do if you have bought the item, as well as detailed information on why the product is being pulled from shelves, fridges or freezers.
Iceland, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Waitrose have recalled items in recent weeks, with customers urged not to eat them but instead return them to the store for a full refund. You do not need to have your receipt to get your money back.
