Food safety agencies issue 'Do not eat' recalls across UK and Ireland

The UK Food Standards Agency has issued multiple "do not eat" notices for products sold at major supermarkets, advising shoppers to check their homes and discard the items. The alerts cover Dalston's Pineapple Soda cans that may break unexpectedly, Buttermilk Confections' Honeycomb Blast chocolate bar that contains undeclared milk, and unspecified condiments sold at Tesco and Sainsbury's. Consumers are instructed to avoid consumption, safely dispose of the products, and contact the manufacturers for refunds.

In Ireland, the Food Safety Authority has issued an urgent "do not eat" alert for specific batches of pork mince sold at Supervalu and Lidl after testing revealed Salmonella contamination. The recall targets products supplied by Kepak, with warnings that the bacteria can cause severe illness, especially in vulnerable groups. Shoppers are urged to check freezers and discard the affected pork mince.

Both agencies recommend that consumers follow recall instructions, seek refunds where applicable, and avoid handling the products more than necessary.
