FSA issues urgent recall and 'do not eat' warning over 'possible presence of metal' in Magnum Classic Ice Cream
Discussing the recall, the FSA website added: "Unilever are recalling the above product. Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling this product.
"These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product. Please see the attached notice."
Sharing its advice to consumers, the agency said:" If you have bought the above product do not eat it. Instead, any customers with queries or concerns can contact the careline team for further guidance on 08006781031."
What are product withdrawals and recalls?
According to the FSA, when there is a problem with a food product and it is unsafe to eat, it may be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (customers are asked to return the product).
The agency publicises this information so that consumers and local authorities are aware of the issue.
In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued. This gives councils specific details of action that should be taken on behalf of the consumer.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
