Action taken by the company

Glen Turner Co. Ltd is recalling the above products. Point-of-sale recall notices will be displayed in Asda and Aldi stores selling these products. These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what actions to take if they have bought any of the products. Point-of-sale recall notices for Asda and Aldi can be found at the links below.

If you have bought one of the products listed above please return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund. Details on the advice to customers for both Asda and Aldi can be found in the point-of-sale notices above.

About product recalls and withdrawals

If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food. In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued. This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.
