Action taken by the company
Dorset Oysters are recalling the above products. Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling these products. These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product. Please see the attached notice.
Our advice to consumers
If you have bought Dorset Oysters from any of the food businesses listed above, do not eat them. Instead, return them to the food business from where they were bought for a full refund. If you are unsure if the oysters purchased were from Dorset Oysters or have any questions, please contact the retailer where they were purchased or contact Dorset Oysters directly on 01202 666057.
About product recalls and withdrawals
If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).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 FSA 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.
