Warburtons recalls packs of 6 Crumpets
Warburtons has recalled some packs of its own-brand 6 Crumpets with a ‘best before’ date of 22 November 2010 and 23 November 2010, because the product might contain small pieces of aluminium.
The Agency has issued a Product Information Recall Notice advising consumers not to eat the product.
The product being recalled is:
- Product: Warburtons 6 Crumpets
- Best before: 22 November 2010 and 23 November 2010
- Batch code (the two lines of code printed next to the best before date): First line of code ends with 'W' and second line of code ends with '3'
Products with the above best before dates that do not have the two lines code ending with 'W' and '3' are not unaffected.
Warburtons has recalled the affected product from consumers. The affected product has been distributed within Yorkshire, Lancashire, Merseyside, West Midlands, North Wales and Greater Manchester only.
Product recall notices have been displayed on the company’s website and in the national press today, Wednesday 17 November 2010, explaining to customers why the product has been recalled and how they can get a full refund.

About product withdrawals and recalls
If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).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 Food Standards Agency 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.
You can get FSA alerts about product recall and withdrawals either by email or SMS text. Visit the Get Alerts page at the link towards the bottom of this page to find out how.
You can also subscribe to our Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed for food and allergy alerts. RSS is a format for distributing news content and is a simple way to keep up to date with the latest news on a website.
When we publish via RSS, you can automatically get the updated content via a 'news aggregator' or 'news reader'. Our RSS feed will contain a brief summary and link back to our web content. Click on 'What is RSS' on the left of this page for more details.
