Asda is taking the precautionary action of recalling Asda White Lasagne Sauce because of a possible microbiological contamination risk due to a production fault.
The issue only affects products sold at Asda stores in the North West of England, North Midlands and North Wales.
Product details:
Asda White Lasagne Sauce
Pack size: 480g
Best before: 03 February 2024
Lidl recall
Lidl has issued a recall for one of its products due to the fact it contains undeclared ingredients that could cause an allergic reaction.
Its Birchwood 2 Breaded Katsu Kiev may contain milk which is not mentioned on the label.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said on its website that the reason for this is because the product had been mispacked with Garlic and Herb Chicken Kiev which contains milk.
Therefore this would be a problem for those who have an intolerance or allergy to milk.
The Breaded Katsu Kiev products that are affected have a use by date of October 24, 2022.
Iceland recall
Iceland has issued a do not eat warning over one of its products as it may contain raw chicken.

The recall impacts 800g packs with a best before date of June 17, 2023. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has warned anyone who has purchased the chicken not to eat it and to return it for a full refund.
