Moma Foods is recalling various porridge pots and sachet products because of possible mice contamination at its manufacturing site.
The British porridge and oat drink brand issued a product recall warning for seven versions of its pots and two of its sachets.
Pots in Almond Butter & Salted Caramel, Apple, Cinnamon & Brown Sugar, Banana & Peanut Butter Protein, Blueberry & Vanilla, Cranberry & Raisin, Golden Syrup and Plain No-Added Sugar have been recalled, alongside sachets in Almond Butter & Salted Caramel and Apple, Cinnamon & Brown Sugar.
The affected products “may contain mouse contamination making them unsafe to eat”, the Food Standards Agency said.
Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores selling affected products and on their website.
The notices would explain to customers why the products were being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the products, the FSA explained.
Consumers that had bought the products should not eat them and instead return them to the point of purchase for a full refund, it added.
A spokesperson for Moma said: “Even though the chance of contamination of any of the above products being affected is low, we have taken this precautionary step to ensure the safety of our consumers.
“Any consumers who have purchased affected Moma porridge products are asked not to consume them. Instead, they should return the products to the store where they were purchased and a full refund will be issued.”
Moma Foods was started in a railway arch in Deptford, south-east London in 2006 and sold to AG Barr in late 2022 for £3.4m.
