Customers have been warned not to consume the contents of 250g packs of ‘Essential Waitrose & Partners Seafood Sticks’ with a 5 October best before date.
This is because the product has been unsafe to eat since the correct best before date of 5 October 2024 passed.
The batch has been withdrawn from shelves but customers may still be in possession of packs.
To alert customers about the error, Waitrose is displaying point of sale notices in all stores that sell the products, urging anyone that has bought the product in question to consume it.
Anyone that has bought an impacted pack has been advised to return it to any Waitrose store for a full refund.
“We apologise that it has been necessary to recall this product and for the inconvenience caused,” the notices read.
Customers can also contact Waitrose directly for more information.
In related news, a sushi product sold in both Waitrose and Asda is being recalled because it may contain pieces of glass.
Sold in 150ml jars, the affected batch features a ‘UK12019’ batch code and has a 9 February 2026 best before date.
Point of sale notices are being displayed in all retail stores that sell the product, including Waitrose and Asda, explaining why the jars of sushi ginger are being recalled.
“While the product has been removed from shelves as a precautionary measure, we are now extending the recall to consumers who may have purchased the affect product,” the notices read.
