Recalls are routine, and most are precautionary. That does not make them unimportant: the practical step is to check the batch code rather than the product name, because only specific production runs are usually affected.
What to do
- Find the batch code on the base or back of the pack
- Do not consume the product if the code matches
- Return it to any branch for a refund — no receipt is required
If you have already consumed the product and feel unwell, contact your doctor and mention the recall by name. Retailers are required to publish the notice in store as well as online.
