The Co-operative has recalled two batches of its British Beef Roasting Joint because they have been labelled with incorrect 'use by' dates of 22 December 2011 and 23 December 2011. The products should have been labelled with a ‘use by’ date of 5 December 2011. If you’ve bought the product, you can contact the Co-op for a full refund. The Agency has issued a Product Recall Information Notice.

About product withdrawals and recalls
If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). The Food Standards Agency issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food. In some cases, a ‘Food Alert for Action’ is issued. This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.
You can get FSA alerts about product recall and withdrawals either by email or SMS text. Visit the Get Alerts page at the link towards the bottom of this page to find out how.
