Late-January UK Recalls Flag Aptamil Formula, Tesco Fried Rice and Lidl Snacks

Regulators urge immediate returns, citing undeclared allergens, contamination, plus a heat-stable toxin.

Overview

  • Danone recalled Aptamil First Infant Formula 800g after a batch tested positive for cereulide toxin, with packs best before 31 October 2026 and sold between May and July 2025, and parents are told to stop use and seek medical advice if concerned.
  • Tesco pulled its Special Fried Rice 350g with use-by 2 February 2026 because wheat (gluten) is not declared on the label, and customers can return it for a full refund without a receipt.
  • Lidl GB recalled Snaktastic Multigrain Bites Sour Cream & Black Pepper due to possible foil fragments in packs from batch code 207 345 with April 2026 best-before dates, and shoppers are told not to eat the product.
  • TJX Europe recalled a Ten Acre Gifts coffee syrup collection sold in TK Maxx and Homesense from October 2025 to January 2026, best before 9 September 2026, for undeclared nuts, peanuts, soya and wheat/gluten that pose risks to people with allergies or coeliac disease.
  • FSA and OPSS notices highlight broader January actions spanning food and non-food items, including glass found in certain Waitrose waters and a Pilgrim shampoo set with a prohibited ingredient, with consistent guidance to stop using affected products and return them for refunds.
