Moma Foods, a brand that began in 2006 selling porridge and smoothies from a railway arch in Deptford, London, has issued a recall for several of its porridge products. This recall comes after concerns were raised regarding possible mice contamination at the manufacturing site.
The recall affects seven versions of porridge pots and two sachets, with flavors including almond butter and salted caramel, apple, cinnamon and brown sugar, banana and peanut butter protein, blueberry and vanilla, cranberry and raisin, golden syrup, and plain no-added sugar.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has stated that the affected products may contain mouse contamination, making them unsafe for consumption. In a statement, the FSA noted, “Moma Foods is recalling various porridge pots and sachet products because of possible mouse contamination at the manufacturing site.”
Customers who have purchased these products are advised not to eat them and to return them for a full refund. Moma Foods has emphasized that, although the chance of contamination is low, they are taking this precautionary step to ensure the safety of their consumers. Moma Foods stated, “Even though the chance of contamination of any of the above products being affected is low, we have taken this precautionary step to ensure the safety of our consumers.”
To inform customers, point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that sell the affected products. This proactive measure aims to ensure that consumers are aware of the recall and can take appropriate action.
The recall is referenced as FSA-PRIN-13-2026, and it highlights the importance of food safety and consumer protection in the UK. As the situation develops, further updates may be provided by Moma Foods and the Food Standards Agency.
For now, consumers are encouraged to check their cupboards for the affected products and follow the guidelines provided by Moma Foods and the FSA.
