Urgent ‘do not eat’ warnings issued for rice, burgers and snacks – full list

The Food Standards Agency has issued urgent food and allergy alerts for several popular products including chicken burgers, crisps and rice that could pose a health risk if eaten.

Throughout the last week days, several food products have been recalled, with customers strongly advised against eating them. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has released multiple food and allergy warnings for products ranging from chicken burgers to crisps and other snacks that might present a health hazard if consumed.

Several contain allergens that aren’t highlighted on the labels, whilst another poses a danger as it may have bits of foil inside. If you’ve purchased any of these products, you’re urged not to consume them.

Instead, take them back to where you bought them for a complete refund. Here’s a full list of all the recalls from this week, as reported by the Express.
