Waitrose has issued an urgent recall for its Essential Waitrose Seafood Sticks 250g due to a date code error.
Customers are being warned not to consume these seafood sticks as a precaution. The affected products have a Best Before Date of October 5, 2025.
The supermarket is asking shoppers to package up the seafood sticks and return them to their local Waitrose & Partners branch.
A full refund will be provided to all customers returning the recalled product.
No receipt is necessary to receive a full refund for this item. Waitrose has not specified the exact nature of the error but emphasises the importance of not consuming products with the affected date code.
Customers with questions or concerns about the recall can contact Waitrose Customer Care on 0800 188 884, option four.
Waitrose said: "Do not consume [the product]. We apologise that it has been necessary to recall this product and for the inconvenience caused."
Waitrose has not provided further details about when replacement stock will be available in stores. The recall remains in effect until further notice.
In other recall news, Britons have been advised to check for a number of cookware items as they could cause a health risk when used.
The affected pans were sold by Emba and included various cast iron skillets and griddles.
Owners are told to "stop using the affected products immediately", according to the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS).
