Waitrose
Waitrose issued an important customer safety notice about popular snacks that have been labelled incorrectly and thus a recall is taking place in the supermarket.
In demand over the Christmas period, Waitrose Eight Red Onion Bhajis with a Date and Tamarind Dip are incorrectly labelled to be in date up to January 31, 2024.
There has been a labelling issue, which means the use-by date is incorrect, making them “unsafe to eat”.
Waitrose strongly advised customers to not eat the food product, but they can be returned to the store for a full refund.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) have also been made aware of the safety issue.
