Morrisons has recalled some Crushed Garlic tubes and issued customers a “do not eat” warning.
The £1 kitchen staple has been recalled because “an ingredient has been omitted from the product that prevents microbiological growth and therefore presents a potential risk to consumers”, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has said.

No other Morrisons products are known to be affected.
Morrisons commented: “Please do not eat this product and return it to your nearest store for a full refund. We don’t need a receipt.
“No other products or date codes are affected by this issue. We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and assure customers of our continuing commitment to the highest standard of product quality and safety.”
The FSA added: “An ingredient has been omitted from the product that prevents microbiological growth making the product potentially unsafe to eat.
“If you have bought the above product do not eat it. Instead return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund.”

What are FSA product recalls and withdrawals?
The FSA explained: “If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).
“The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.
“In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued. This provides local authorities with details of specific action to be taken on behalf of consumers.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
