Nisa recalls chicken fillets because they have the WRONG use-by date label
CHICKEN breast fillets from Nisa convenience shops are being urgently recalled because they have the wrong use-by date printed on the label.
The chain, which has more than 2,500 shops across the UK, is recalling some packets of its Heritage British Skinless Chicken Breast Fillets because shoppers could unknowingly buy chicken that's up to a month out of date.
The recall affects 280g packets which have a use-by date of December 29 on the label - as the packaging should say November 29.
That means that shoppers could eat chicken breasts up to a month past their use-by date without knowing, which might make them ill.
Eating out-of-date chicken could give someone food poisoning so it's illegal for shops to sell food that is past its use-by date.
Food poisoning can last for up to 48 hours and symptoms can include a fever, stomach cramps, vomiting, and diarrhoea.
Your product recall rights
PRODUCT recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods.
As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action.
But it's often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk.
If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer’s website to see if a safety notice has been issued.
When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you - the customer - to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don't there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault.
If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer.
They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice.
In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full redund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected.
You should not be charged for any recall work - such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item.
Affected packs will have a batch code of "333L61109" so it's worth looking on the label of any packs you've bought to see if you've got one in your fridge.
If you have bought one of the packs, don't eat the chicken and you return it to any Nisa shop for a full refund.
Signs will go up in Nisa shops across the country to warn shoppers about the recall.
Nisa was bought by the Co-op this year and now sells Co-op branded products as well as its own Heritage label.
