The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is responsible for withdrawing goods for a number of reasons, including undetected allergens or the discovery of inedible materials in products.
Generally, getting a refund is easy and doesn’t often require proof of payment.
Tesco
In Tesco, they remembered several favorite Christmas dinners.
A 125g pack of 10 cooked beef cuts with the wrong use-by date was first on the list.

It was marked as January 24th, not December 24th due to a labeling error.
They are also continuing to recall the 300g packs of red cabbage and apple due to mislabelling.
The festive mix was supposed to be used by December 11th, but instead it says December 29th.
Customers can receive a full refund for recalled items.
Morrisons
A 75g tube of crushed garlic is being recalled after one ingredient was missed during the manufacturing process.

The forgotten ingredient stops the growth of bacteria in the product.
The tube in question has an expiration date of October 19, 2025.
Aldi
It’s bad news for vegetarians after Aldi recalled its Let’s Party Vegetable Bao Buns after duck meat was not listed in the ingredients.
It also contains sesame, which was also not on the list, and represents a great danger for allergy sufferers.
