What is a food recall?

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what a food recall is: “If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).

Recommended reading:

“The FSA issues 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.”

Cosmos Chocolat, an award-winning quartet known for their fresh take on traditional French folk music, will perform at Kennington Village Centre in Oxford on Sunday, April 26.

The event is a collaboration between Balfolk Oxford and Oxfolk Ceilidhs, following their sold-out French dance during the Oxford Folk Festival earlier this month.

The band will bring an evening of music and movement to life using the hurdy-gurdy, accordion, fiddle, and French ‘boha’ bagpipes.

A short beginners’ session will take place before the main event, led by Kerry Fletcher, one of the UK’s most loved French dance teachers and Co-Artistic Director of Folk Dance Remixed.

A spokesperson for Balfolk Oxford said: “Some dances are partnered, some are circles, some snake along in long, trancy lines.

“All are lively, soulful, and rich in spirit.

“If you are new to balfolk, this is great opportunity to learn some dances and hear music from a top quality band.”

The workshop begins at 3.30pm, with the main dance running from 4.30pm to 6.30pm.

A bal is a relaxed, continental folk dance and music session, for everyone.

People are encouraged to bring family, friends, children and even their dog to have a dance.

Tickets can be booked through buytickets.at/oxfolkceilidhs.

WorldSkills brings together the world’s best apprentices and young professionals across more than 80 countries.

“The next few months will be challenging, with more milestones to hit and training targets to reach along the way.

“Fortunately, I have the support of Bill Cleyndert and Company and Rycotewood behind me.

“I am very grateful to have the opportunity to represent the British furniture industry and hope to do everyone proud.”

Mr Mackintosh’s selection follows success in regional and national WorldSkills UK competitions and months of intensive, specialist training.

He will now undergo final high-performance preparation ahead of the competition, which takes place from September 22 to 27.

Josh Hudson, Rycotewood Furniture Centre lead at Activate Learning, said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to see Stan selected for Team UK at WorldSkills.

“From starting his Level 2 Furniture Manufacturer apprenticeship in 2024 to reaching this incredible milestone, his journey has been nothing short of inspiring.

“This achievement is a testament to his talent, dedication, and hard work and the whole Rycotewood team is proud to be behind him every step of the way as he sets his sights on Shanghai in September 2026 – we know he’s going to do amazing things.”
