For all product recalls, you can check the Food Standards Agency and Chartered Trading Standards Institute websites. You should also notice recall notices in stores if they've pulled a product from shelves. Another recall you should be aware comes from Waitrose, which has pulled packs of its own-brand butter over fears it may contain pieces of blue cloth.

The supermarket has recalled 500g blocks of its Essential Waitrose & Partners Salted Dairy Butter with the best before date of June 19, 2024. No other dates are affected by the recall. The butter retails art £1.75. Shoppers are being urged to take the product back to their nearest Waitrose store for a full refund.
