When there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it may be withdrawn from shop shelves or recalled, which is when customers are urged to return the product.
According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), the latest active food recall is for Daylesford Organic products.
The manufacturer runs several cafes in London in addition to a popular farm shop in the Cotswolds and is known for its rustic hampers, organic food and gifts.
Included in their offering is a selection of savoury biscuits and crispbreads, of which multiple batches have been subject to an urgent food recall.
A statement from the FSA explained: “Daylesford Organic is recalling Daylesford Organic Rye, Spelt & Raisin Crispbreads and Daylesford Organic Savoury Biscuit Selection because of the presence of moth larvae which makes these products unsafe to eat.”

Customers who have purchased or been gifted any of the affected products have been urged to follow some simple advice.
The products should not be opened or eaten and instead, need to be returned to one of the Daylesford Organic stores.
Anyone who returns the contaminated biscuits is eligible for a full refund with or without a receipt.
A statement from Daylesford Organic to Express.co.uk said: “This week, we recalled Organic Rye, Spelt & Raisin Crispbread with the expiry dates April 2024, May 2024 & June 2024. This was due to the possible presence of moth larvae.
“Upon discovering the issue, an immediate investigation was launched. These particular crackers are made for us by a third party and the issue has been traced back to an organic flour mill, that has since been treated for the infestation.
“Customers are advised not to eat or open the product and return the item or contact Guest Services for a full refund.”
For more information, those affected can contact Daylesford Organic customer services on 01608 692 871 or [email protected].
The food recall is one of a few that are currently active in the UK, including one for Lidl Northern Ireland Deluxe Irish Carved Peppered Turkey Breast, which was packaged with an incorrect use-by date.
Fans of the Lean Supper Club Dark Chocolate Peanut Mousse should also be aware of a recall for undeclared allergens.
