Iceland issues refunds to shoppers and 'no receipt needed'
Customers are being urged to check their kitchen cupboards, fridges and freezers after food items were recalled from Iceland and Waitrose.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issues recalls for a variety of reasons, including when products contain allergens that are not disclosed on the packaging or if metal or bacteria is detected in the item.
When a product is recalled, for any reason, the FSA shares details on what you should do if you have bought the item, as well as detailed information on why the item has been pulled from sale.
