UK supermarkets issue food recalls over Listeria and E. coli concerns

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued several “do not eat” warnings following food safety alerts that have triggered product recalls at major UK retailers, including Tesco, Waitrose, and Home Bargains.

In Northern Ireland, Macroom Buffalo Cheese Products is recalling Mozzarella (125g) and Bocconcini (160g) due to Listeria monocytogenes contamination. Both products have a use-by date of September 7, 2026. Consumers are advised not to consume the cheese even if it appears or smells normal and should return it to the retailer for a full refund.

Additionally, several filled wraps are being recalled due to potential E. coli contamination. Affected products include Snacksters Chicken Fajita Wrap, Snacksters Hoi Sin Wrap, East Street Deli Sweet Chilli Chicken Wrap, and Target a Snack Chicken Fajita Wrap, all with use-by dates up to and including September 5, 2026.
