The warnings come after multiple products sold nationwide were recalled over potential health risks.
The Food Standards Agency has issued several “do not eat” notices affecting items stocked across major supermarkets. Among the recalls are certain batches of porridge flagged due to possible contamination.
Customers who may have purchased affected products are being advised not to consume them.
Officials say anyone who has bought the products should follow recall guidance, which may include returning items for a refund or disposing of them safely.

Marks & Spencer recall
Marks & Spencer has issued an urgent recall for a popular yoghurt product over an undeclared allergen risk.
The recall affects its Authentic Greek Yoghurt with Vanilla, after it was found the product may contain gluten which is not listed on the label.
Product: Authentic Greek Yoghurt with Vanilla
Pack size: 500g
Use by: 12 May 2026
According to the Food Standards Agency, the yoghurt may contain gluten, making it a potential health risk for anyone with:
A gluten allergy
Gluten intolerance
Coeliac disease
Because gluten is not declared on the packaging, it poses a serious risk to affected consumers.
Customers who have bought the product and have a gluten allergy or intolerance are being told not to eat it.
Instead, they should return it to their nearest Marks & Spencer store for a full refund.

Aldi shoppers have been issued with a “do not eat” warning after a product recall was issued by the supermarket.
Aldi has recalled The Fishmonger Hot Smoked 2 Salmon Fillets – Honey Roasted because of a packaging error.
The fish has been labelled with an incorrect use by date, meaning it is unsafe to eat two months earlier than customers would assume.

A packet of crisps sold at UK supermarkets has been recalled by Walkers and shoppers are being warned “do not eat” the affected item.
Walkers is recalling its six-pack of Hot Honey crisps, which can be purchased from Tesco, Ocado and more retailers, because they could contain a Mild Cheese & Onion seasoning which contains milk and is not correctly labelled.
The company said: “Although this product includes precautionary allergen labelling for milk, milk is not included in the ingredients list and therefore the product poses a risk to people with an allergy to milk.”
The affected batch is the six-pack of 25g bags with a best before date of May 16, 2026 and the batch code GBB 584 031.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has warned the product may contain milk, which makes it a “possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to milk or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.”
It added: “If you have bought the above product and have an allergy to milk do not eat it.
“Instead, please call the Consumer Care Line on 0800 274 777 or visit contact.pepsico.com/walkers to receive a full refund.”
Walkers confirmed that “no other Batch Codes on this Best Before Code are affected”.
A PepsiCo spokesperson said: “We are recalling a specific batch of Walkers Hot Honey 6 x 25g multipacks from specific UK retailers and wholesalers.
“Some of the packets may contain Mild Cheese & Onion seasoning rather than Hot Honey, meaning the product is incorrectly labelled and may pose a risk to people with an allergy to milk.
“This applies only to product with the impacted batch code.
“No other Walkers or PepsiCo products are in scope for this recall.
“The quality and safety of our products is of paramount importance to us and we sincerely apologise for the error.
“We are working with the Food Standards Agency, impacted retailers and allergen groups to inform consumers.”

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 ‘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 actions to be taken on behalf of consumers.
