Co-op tuna, pasta, salad recall overview:
- Who: Co-op recalled two tuna products and two salad products.
- Why: The tuna products may contain metal, and the salad products were labeled with the wrong best-before dates.
- Where: The recall is effective across the UK.
Co-op recalled two tuna products and two salad products after some products were found to contain pieces of metal, and other products were given the wrong best-before date.
In a notice posted 31 May to the Food Standards Agency website, Co-op said it recalled Co-op Tuna Chunks in Sunflower Oil and Co-op Tuna Chunks in Springwater because the products may contain pieces of metal, making them unsafe to eat.
The sunflower oil cans have a best-before date of 31 August 2026. The springwater cans have a best-before date of 31 August 2024.
“If you have bought the above products do not eat them. Instead return them to the store from where they were bought for a full refund,” the recall says.
Retail stories that sold the products will display point-of-sale notices, according to the recall. It did not state whether there have been any incidents involving the products so far.
Co-op recalls pasta, salad bowls with incorrect best-by dates
Co-op also recalled the Co-op Peri Peri Chicken Pasta Bowl and Co-op Prawn Marie Rose Layered Salad because they were labeled with a ‘use-by’ date of 1 July 2022 instead of 1 June 2022.
“Therefore, they may be unsafe to eat after the intended ‘use by’ date due to risk of bacterial growth that could cause illness if consumed,” the recall says.
Both products come in a 280-gram package and have a best-before date of 1 July 2022.
“If you have bought the above products, do not eat them. Instead, return them to your nearest store for a full refund,” the Co-op recall notice says.
The company is not currently facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes end in class action lawsuits.
In related recall news, in April, Tesco recalled some of its soup products due to concerns that they may contain metal fragments.
If you purchased Tesco Chicken and Vegetable cup soup with croutons, you should check the label to see if it has been recalled as the products are not safe to eat.
