The Real Lancashire Black Pudding Co Ltd recalls Black Pudding Slices due to a labelling error

The Real Lancashire Black Pudding Co Ltd is recalling a batch of its Black Pudding Slices because the product has been incorrectly labelled with a ‘use by’ date of 31 December 2016.

About product recalls and withdrawals

If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food. In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued. This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.
