UK - Mold in Products
(Source: FSA) Spar has recalled its ready-to-eat Chicken Bites Snack Bags because mould has
been found in the product. The mould has resulted in spoilage of the product, which is therefore
unfit for human consumption.
Mould does not usually cause food poisoning. However, we would advise against consuming
visibly mouldy foods as some species can produce mycotoxins.

Spar has recalled and displayed point-of-sale recall notices in stores. These notices explain to
customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what actions to take if they have
bought the product.
