Over the past couple of weeks, several food items have been urgently recalled, with shoppers warned not to eat them. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued a string of food and allergy alerts for a range of different products sold at supermarkets all over the UK. 

Food items are often recalled due to label misprints, which could pose a risk for anyone with allergies or intolerances. Other things like foreign bodies or the presence of harmful bacteria are also reasons for recall. Here’s a list of all the major food recalls in February you need to know about, with products like oven chips, desserts and snacks all affected.
