What is a product recall?

If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).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.

Thames Valley Police said they confiscated the two bikes in the south of the county after the riders were given “very clear warnings”.

Yesterday (Thursday, April 9), a spokesperson for the Didcot and Wallingford Neighbourhood Team said: “A couple of riders were given very clear warnings earlier in the day about riding their bikes anti‑socially.

“Unfortunately, they decided to test our patience — and our paperwork skills. Result: Bikes seized under Section 59.

“It’s all fun and games until the recovery truck arrives…”

The statement from the team was part of a wider update on activity over the past week.

The team informed the public about rural patrols in which they had come across makeshift ‘festival sites’ and enquiries after women said they had been followed by unknown individuals.

The team said: “We’ve been out and about in some of our more secluded areas after reports of youths using them as makeshift “festival sites” — complete with alcohol and smoke… just not the legal kind.

“We’ve increased patrols, had some honest chats, and encouraged everyone to enjoy the countryside without turning it into a rave.”

They added: “We’ve been carrying out CCTV enquiries following reports of suspicious activity in the area.

“On two occasions this weekend females reported being followed by unknown individuals.

“They gave excellent descriptions for us to use in our enquiries and most importantly, got home safe.”

In addition the team reported they had been speaking to groups of young people and had attended a fear for welfare incident, with young women intoxicated in the road.

Ms Lawson has joined the popular TV show as a judge, replacing Cotswolds resident Dame Prue Leith, who joined back in 2017.

Dame Prue had replaced Dame Mary Berry, who lives in Henley, when the programme switched from the BBC to Channel 4.

Oxford University graduate Ms Lawson is the latest to step into the role and will judge alongside Mr Hollywood, who has been present since the show’s inception.

This month, both judges were pictured together for the first time ahead of working together in a viral social media post.

As an April Fools’ joke, Ms Lawson uploaded a photograph of herself with Mr Hollywood to her Instagram page.

She jested: “AN ANNOUNCEMENT: I know you were led to believe that I would be joining Paul Hollywood on Great British Bake Off, but, as you can clearly see, we are in fact a hard-bitten, seen-it-all detective (PH) and a lugubrious forensic pathologist (NL) solving crimes in the Ruhr Valley.

Fans welcomed the “announcement” well, with many making subsequent jokes about the duo in those would-be crime drama roles.

“Crime Bruleé…the new hit detective drama coming soon,” said one commenter.

Another added: “Cakespeare & Meecrowahvay.”

Pastry chef Nicola Lamb quipped: “I think it was Professor Plum in the tent with the offset spatula.”
