Domino's, Waitrose, Papa John's: Urgent Recalls Have Us All Feeling a Little Queasy
Hold onto your pizza boxes, folks, because there's been a wave of food recalls that's got everyone's stomachs in knots. Domino's, Waitrose, and Papa John's have all issued urgent recalls for various products, and it's important to check your fridge and freezer ASAP.
Domino's: Not-So-Delicious Dough
Domino's has issued a recall for its "Deep Pan" and "Thin 'n Crispy" bases, due to a potential contamination with E. coli. Yikes! It's important to note that only specific batches of these bases are affected, so don't go throwing out your entire pizza stash just yet. Check the Domino's website for the specific batch codes to see if your bases are included.
Waitrose: A Sour Note for Salad Lovers
Waitrose has recalled "Waitrose Prepared Salad with Red Onion and Croutons". The reason? Listeria monocytogenes. This bacteria is no joke, so make sure to check your fridge and bin any affected salads. The recall is only for specific best before dates, so keep an eye out for that information.
Papa John's: A Pepperoni-Packed Problem
Papa John's has issued a recall for its "Pepperoni & Cheese Pizza", but luckily, this one's only affecting customers in the UK. The issue is a possible allergy risk, related to a lack of proper labeling. So, if you've got a sneaky suspicion your pepperoni pizza might be hiding a secret ingredient, it's best to err on the side of caution and check the Papa John's website for more information.
What Now?
So, what can you do if you've got some potentially affected products in your fridge? Firstly, don't panic! You can check the websites of each company for a list of recalled products and batch numbers. If you find that you've got a recalled item, return it to the store for a full refund.
And remember, food safety is a serious business. Stay informed, check your food labels, and always be sure to dispose of recalled items properly.
Stay safe, eat well, and happy pizza-ing!
