What are my rights if there's a food recall?
The Consumer Rights Act states that if you've purchased a product that's been included in a recall notice, you have the right to a refund.
Even if the product has been in your cupboard or freezer for several months, the retail is still obligated to offer a full refund.
Provided you can show proof of purchase, such as a receipt, bank statement, or online order confirmation, you are still eligible for a refund even if you've already consumed the product or thrown it away.
