Waitrose Recalls Chocolate Chip Brioche Rolls Over Metal and Plastic Risk

The Food Standards Agency has published an official notice saying the affected batch has been withdrawn from sale with instructions for customers to return packs for a full refund.

Overview

  • The recall, announced on Wednesday, covers Waitrose & Partners 8 Chocolate Chip Brioche Rolls with batch code B26177 and a best‑before date of July 26, 2026.
  • The FSA and Waitrose say customers must not eat the product and should package and return affected packs to any Waitrose branch for a full refund.
  • Point‑of‑sale notices are being displayed in stores and Waitrose has removed the affected batch from shelves while the recall is in effect.
  • Waitrose has apologised and published a customer care contact number for enquiries, and there are no public reports yet naming a supplier or confirming any injuries.
  • The FSA recall follows standard UK procedures for food safety alerts and could prompt more retailer checks given a cluster of recent, separate product recalls.
