This weekend, several major retailers including Marks and Spencer, the Co-op, and Waitrose have issued urgent alerts, urging customers to return or dispose of certain products due to health risks, with full refunds offered. Marks & Spencer has removed pies from shelves because of a risk of vomiting and breathing difficulties. The Co-op has advised shoppers to dispose of a meat product that could cause breathing issues, and Waitrose has shared an urgent warning about food that could contain glass, also recalling olives feared to contain small pieces of glass. Additionally, there have been recalls for oat milk, mini bagels, due to serious allergic reaction fears, and bread after a threat-to-life warning was issued. Alongside these product recalls, there is a broader context of rising living costs in the UK, highlighted by a significant increase in the price of olive oil, which has soared by 89%, with UK households issued a £16 warning over olive oil. A one-liter bottle of supermarket brand olive oil now costs nearly £8 at major supermarkets, described as 'eye-watering'. The inflation rate in Asia has hit 25%, indicating a global trend of rising living costs.
