A wave of urgent product recalls has been issued this week, covering food and drink items sold at major UK supermarkets as well as more than a million Jeep vehicles worldwide over fire risks, with the Food Standards Agency warning consumers not to eat or use the affected products.
A mass vehicle recall has been issued by global carmaker Stellantis, affecting more than one million Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator models built between 2021 and 2025, with many already pulled from UK roads over fears of spontaneous combustion caused by faulty wiring in their electric hydraulic power steering pumps. A Stellantis spokesperson said: “Having customer safety and satisfaction at the core of its values, Stellantis is voluntarily recalling 1,834 Jeep Wrangler in the UK to inspect, and if necessary, repair or replace the wiring harness and/or electric hydraulic power steering pump.” Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted directly to arrange an appointment at a Jeep retailer.
On the food front, Buttermilk Confections has recalled its Honeycomb Blast Choc Bar after discovering it contains milk not declared on the label, posing a risk to anyone with a milk allergy or intolerance. The recall affects 45g packs with a best before date of 15 June 2027 and batch code BM26105. The company said: “If you have bought Buttermilk Honeycomb Blast Choc Bar as detailed above, do not eat it,” advising customers to return the product to the store for a full refund with or without a receipt.
Dalston Soda Company has recalled its Pineapple Soda over a packaging defect that could cause cans to break apart and leave sharp edges. Unlike most recalls, customers have been told not to return the product but to dispose of it safely. The notice reads: “This may present a risk of injury. Do not drink it. Please safely dispose of the product,” adding that customers should “handle the cans as little as possible, place them carefully, upright, in a sealed bag and dispose of them with your household waste.” The recall affects 330ml single cans with batch code 037130 and 4x330ml multipacks with batch code 037129, both with a best before date of 4 August 2027.
Arran Fine Foods Caramelised Red Onion Chutney, sold at Tesco and Sainsbury’s, has been recalled over concerns it may contain pieces of metal, making it unsafe to eat. The recall covers a wide range of best before dates across both 195g and 1.35kg packs, spanning from April 2027 through to February 2029, with all affected products to be returned for a refund.
Morrisons has also recalled its Savers Cashews over possible glass contamination. The 125g packs affected carry best before dates of 9 August, 6 September, 26 September, 28 September and 9 October 2026. The Food Standards Agency has advised customers not to consume the product and to return it to their nearest Morrisons store for a full refund.
