Iceland urgently recalls popular bakery item as shoppers warned 'do not eat'

Iceland urgently recalls popular bakery item as shoppers warned 'do not eat'

Daily Record29-05-2025

The supermarket has recalled the bakery item as a "precautionary measure."
Iceland shoppers have been warned not to eat a popular bakery item. The frozen foods giant has issued a recall for its Daily Bakery 4 Sub Rolls due to an undeclared ingredient.
A recent allergy alert posted to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) explains that the supermarket's bread item was found to contain barley, an ingredient not mentioned on the list of ingredients.

Allergy alerts are generally posted by the FSA when a problem with a food product has been discovered, meaning it could potentially pose a health risk to consumers due to missing or incorrect allergy labelling and other food allergy concerns.

In its recall notice, Iceland added that its move was a "precautionary measure" as the rolls pose a potential health risk to anyone who suffers from an allergy or intolerance to barley (gluten.)
The FSA advises that the recall affects a pack of four rolls that feature the best before date of June 2, 2025. Iceland further added no other best before dates have been affected.

Shoppers have since been urged not to eat the bakery item but to instead return it to any Iceland store where a full refund will be provided, even without a receipt.
Iceland's full recall notice read: "We are taking the precautionary measure of recalling the date code of the above product as it may contain undeclared barley and therefore poses a potential risk to people with an allergy or intolerance to barley.
"Only the best before date in this notice is affected."

Iceland has since issued point of sale notices to its retail stores that sold the Daily Bakery Sub Rolls, which can still be found online for £1.50.

These notices explain to customers why the product has been recalled and what to do if they have bought the affected item.

In other recall news, we recently reported that Grape Tree's Raw Unsalted Macadamia Nuts were found to potentially be contaminated with E.coli bacteria.
The recall concerned the health shop's 250g pack sizes, alongside the batch code G41 5 101 250610 and best before date July 11, 2026.
While most STEC organisms are said to be harmless, they can sometimes cause severe diarrhoea (including bloody diarrhoea) and abdominal pain. In severe cases, it could lead to haemolytic uremic syndrome, (HUS), a serious condition that can lead to kidney failure and can be fatal.

It's not just food items that have been recalled lately, as a popular air fryer that was sold at both Wilko and The Range has been pulled from shelves following fears that it poses a serious fire risk.
The Haden Air Fryer was pulled after the Office for Product and Safety Standards (OPSS) concluded that the kitchen gadget's maximum temperature could melt or warp the product's plastic, or could catch fire.
Shoppers have since been urged not to use the kitchen item, which was also failed to adhere to the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.

British tourist fighting for life in Greek hospital after contracting Legionnaires' disease

Donna Jobling was on holiday in Crete with her husband and friends when she fell ill. A British tourist has been left fighting for her life after falling ill with Legionnaires' disease during a holiday to the Greek island of Crete. Donna Jobling, from West Hull, is still in an induced coma at Venizeleio Hospital in the capital, Heraklion. She was enjoying an all-inclusive holiday with her husband Sidney and their friends, Paula and Nicholas Mason. ‌ The 57-year-old became unwell on June 5, initially suffering from a chest infection, but her condition worsened just two days later. Tests confirmed she had Legionnaires' disease, caused by Legionella pneumophila. ‌ The infection caused acute respiratory failure and pneumonia, according to her family. The disease is usually picked up via inhaling water droplets from contaminated air conditioning systems. Her niece Claire, 42, flew out to see her after hearing how ill she was. She had to return home to obtain documents proving Donna is covered by insurance, but is travelling back as soon as she has them. Claire told Hull Live: "We are all devastated and beside ourselves." She added: "We were told it was touch and go whether she would survive. We are all praying for her. She is stable but under constant watch. We flew out there but had to come back because of work and family commitments. I'm still waiting for documents but will go back with them as soon as I have them." She described her aunt as being "like a mother to us all." She recalled Crete was a popular destination for family holidays when she was younger: "We have happy memories of the island. It used to be our go-to holiday destination and we went as a whole family. It is beautiful, The weather is great and the food is fantastic." ‌ Claire explained Donna has complex medical conditions, including epilepsy, but added she is being well cared for and staff brush her hair: "It is quite strict in the intensive care unit. You only get 30 minutes to visit. But she is well looked after." Donna's friends Paula and Nicholas travelled back home on June 12. Paula, 52, explained how both of their husbands had organised the holiday as a surprise. She said: "It was lovely at the start of the holiday. We all walked everywhere. "Then it came out from nowhere. She has a lot of health problems anyway. But she became seriously ill and the doctor said she had to be taken to hospital. and they have put her in an induced coma in the intensive care unit." ‌ Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The source of the Legionnaires' is still to be identified, however easyJet Holidays, the company the couples used to travel with, have re-accommodated other guests out of the hotel they had stayed in. A spokesperson said: "We're so sorry to hear that Ms Jobling is unwell, and we're continuing to support her and her family in every way we can. ‌ 'As soon as we were made aware of reports of illness, we immediately took action and contacted customers who were already staying in the hotel, or due to travel in the next four weeks, to provide alternative hotel options. "We've also been in touch with customers who recently returned home from this hotel, to inform them of necessary guidance. Our customers' safety and wellbeing is our top priority, and we'll continue to do all we can to support them.' It is understood that the hotel is working alongside health authorities in Crete.

Scots midwife took 'hippy crack' while at work on high-risk pregnancy ward

A Scots midwife has escaped being struck off after her boss found her taking laughing gas at work. Mariedh King was discovered consuming nitrous oxide - also known as 'hippy crack' - in an empty labour room whilst on a ward caring for high-risk patients, a disciplinary hearing was told. She admitted to an internal investigation that she had done so multiple times over a two month period. The midwife claimed that the drug's effects were always out of her system by the time she saw patients but could have caused a problem if there was an emergency. Laughing gas is the colloquial term for nitrous oxide which causes euphoria, uncontrolled laughter, and dizziness. In medical settings it is used for sedation and pain relief. Now, a fitness to practise committee has found that Mrs King had put patients at risk by 'knowingly and intentionally' taking the drug. It said the only 'appropriate and proportionate' sanction was a nine month suspension from the Nursing and Midwifery Council register. The professional tribunal heard that the midwife, who was based in Fife, qualified in 2000 and was working on a ward for high-risk pregnancy patients. In September 2021, Mrs King was found by the senior charge midwife in an empty labour room inhaling laughing gas that was intended for patients. After the discovery Mrs King went home. The September incident was the only time she was ever found using the drug but during the course of an internal investigation she admitted to doing it more than once. Mrs King told the tribunal the effects of laughing gas are 'very short lasting' and were always out of her system by the time she attended patients. However, she accepted this 'could have been different' if she had been called to an emergency whilst under the influence. During the hearing it was suggested that the midwife, who had a previously 'unblemished' career, was experiencing personal struggles at the time of her misconduct but the details have been withheld.

A panel found that Mrs King had 'knowingly and intentionally' stolen the nitrous oxide from her employer and put vulnerable patients at risk which amounted to misconduct as well as impairing her fitness to practise. They said: "The panel determined that Mrs King knowingly and intentionally stole, and used, nitrous oxide at her place of work. "Mrs King knew that it was wrong to take the nitrous oxide which was for the use of patients only. Mrs King was responsible for vulnerable patients under her care and the panel was of the view that Mrs King's actions jeopardised patient safety and put patients at a risk of harm. "This was a serious departure from the standards expected of a registered midwife and amounted to misconduct." Going on to consider the appropriate sanction for Mrs King the panel ruled that a striking off order would be 'unduly punitive' but her drug taking did warrant further action. They decided to suspend the midwife from the register for nine months with a review hearing before she can be admitted back onto the register, to ensure Mrs King has developed enough insight into her misconduct to practise safely again. "Mrs King's misconduct arose more than once, albeit it was a single episode, in an otherwise unblemished career," the panel said. "It has found attitudinal issues related to Mrs King's dishonesty but it did not deem these to be deep-seated or personality related. There is no evidence of Mrs King repeating her misconduct... "Whilst the panel acknowledges that a suspension may have a punitive effect, it would be unduly punitive in Mrs King's case to impose a striking off order. "Balancing all of these factors the panel has concluded that a suspension order is the appropriate and proportionate sanction."

MPs back assisted dying for England and Wales in crunch Westminster vote

MPs voted by 314 to 291 - a majority of 23 - in favour of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. MPs have voted for assisted dying to become legal in England and Wales. After a highly charged debate, MPs voted by 314 to 291 - a majority of 23 - in favour of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. ‌ Terminally ill adults in England and Wales with less than six months to live will soon be able to apply for an assisted death. This would need to be approved by two doctors and a panel featuring a social worker, senior legal figure and psychiatrist. ‌ The bill does not apply in Scotland as separate legislation is going through Holyrood at the moment. It has now passed in the House of Commons and will move onto the House of Lords. The Scottish legislation has passed its first vote but will have to go through another stage to become law. It is led by Liberal Democrat MSP Liam McArthur.
