Food recalls happen when customers are asked to return products. Withdrawals occur when products are taken off shelves at supermarkets.
"Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk. When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA will issue an Allergy Alert," Food Standards Agency adds.
