MOMA Foods Recalls Porridge Pots Over Mouse Risk

MOMA Foods, a British manufacturer of porridge and oat products, has recalled nine varieties of its porridge pots and sachets from supermarkets across the United Kingdom due to possible mouse contamination at its production facility. The Food Standards Agency announced the voluntary recall on March 22, urging consumers not to consume the affected items and to return them for a full refund.

The contamination risk stems from potential mouse activity during manufacturing, which could render the products unsafe, according to the agency. Officials emphasized that while no illnesses have been reported, the presence of rodents could introduce health hazards, including bacterial risks. The recall targets specific lot numbers printed on the base of porridge pots and the reverse of sachets, affecting single packs, eight-packs, and 12-packs for most pots, as well as five-packs for sachets.

The affected products include MOMA Almond Butter and Salted Caramel Porridge Pot (55g), with lot numbers M5296, M5297, M5303, M5304, M5315, M5339, and M5342; Apple, Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Porridge Pot (65g), lots M5261, M5328, M5329, M6026, and M6027; Banana and Peanut Butter Protein Porridge Pot...
