A range of porridge products sold under the MOMA Foods brand have been recalled after concerns they may be contaminated with mice at a manufacturing site.
The recall affects multiple varieties of porridge pots and sachets, including flavours such as almond butter and salted caramel, apple, cinnamon and brown sugar, banana and peanut butter, blueberry and vanilla, cranberry and raisin, golden syrup, and plain no-added sugar options. The affected items span a variety of pack sizes, including single pots, multipacks and boxed sachets, with numerous batch codes listed in the recall notice.
According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA), the products may contain mouse contamination, meaning they are unsafe to eat. The issue has been traced to the manufacturing site, prompting the company to take precautionary action across all identified batches.
MOMA Foods has begun a full product recall and is displaying point-of-sale notices in shops stocking the affected products, as well as publishing information on its website. These notices explain the reason for the recall and outline the steps customers should take if they have purchased the items.
Consumers are being advised not to eat any of the listed products. Instead, they should return them to the retailer where they were purchased to receive a full refund. Further information is available directly from the company via its customer contact channels.
Product recalls of this nature are issued when there is a risk to consumer safety, and the FSA uses Product Recall Information Notices to alert both the public and local authorities. In more serious cases, additional enforcement action can be taken to ensure affected products are removed from sale and that consumers are protected.
The recall, referenced as FSA-PRIN-13-2026, is one of a number issued each year covering food safety concerns ranging from contamination risks to labelling errors.
