Product recalls occur when customers are asked to return potentially unsafe items, while withdrawals involve removing products from shelves.
The FSA issues product recall information notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.
In other food recall news, shoppers have been warned of crisps that could pose a serious health risk to those with allergies and food intolerances.
The FSA stated milk, soya and wheat (gluten) are all present, but have not been declared.
