Food recall UK: Supermarkets recall Birds Eye chicken products amid health fears

A food recall is put in place when there is a discovery made about a product that may be deemed unsafe for the consumer. The latest food recall comes from popular brand Birds Eye.

“Alternatively, take a photo of the packing which shows the impacted batch code and send this, with your name, address and contact details to us via contact us www.birdseye.co.uk/contact-us.”

A Birds Eye spokesperson said: “The safety of everyone who enjoys and loves our products are the utmost importance to us.

“As soon we became aware of this issue with our chicken burgers, we immediately investigated and took precautionary action.”

While the product is sold at multiple supermarkets, only Sainsbury’s and Asda have issued notices at the time of writing.

The company extended the list of recalls to all items manufactured before November 2020.

Those who have been shopping in Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Morrisons and Lidl should check for the products listed.

Items include crispy dippers, southern fried chicken strips, southern fried chicken burgers, mega box, poppets and take-home boneless bucket.

Anyone who has bought any of the items can return it to the store it was bought for a refund, or send a photo of the packaging included the best before date to customerservices@sfcwholesale.co.uk.

Danone has recalled three yoghurts as they could contain the presence of metal, making them unsafe to eat.
