Asian-inspired fast food restaurant Itsu has urged customers to avoid its frozen sizzling pork gyozas.
In a recall notice issues via the Food Standards Agency, it said: “Itsu [grocery] is recalling frozen ‘Itsu sizzling pork gyoza’ best before March 8, 2025, from Asda and Sainsbury’s as it may contain small pieces of plastic, making the product unsafe to eat.
“No other Itsu [grocery] products or best before dates are affected.
“If you have this product please send a picture of the best before date Itsu.
“Please dispose of any ‘Itsu sizzling pork gyoza’ with best before date March 8, 2025.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused and would like to thank you in advance for your understanding and co-operation.”
The product is currently available to buy for £3.50 in Morrisons.
The brand description adds: “Ready. Set. Gyoza! Quick & versatile, these restaurant quality dumplings are easy to prepare and can be enjoyed in hundreds of dishes…
“Little parcels of joy brimming with Asian flavours.”
It comes days after Waitrose put out an urgent recall over a popular spread that could contain pieces of blue cloth.
And Unilever is recalling more Magnum ice creams over fears they contain shards of metal and plastic.
What to do if someone is choking
FIRST aid guidance for adults who witness someone choking:
Mild choking
If the airway is only partly blocked, the person will usually be able to speak, cry, cough or breathe, and may be able to clear the blockage themselves.
In adults:
- Encourage them to keep coughing
- Ask them to try to spit out the object
- Don’t put your fingers in their mouth
- If coughing doesn’t work, start back blows
In children:
- If you can see the object, try to remove it (but don’t poke blindly)
- Encouraging coughing
- Shout for help if coughing isn’t effective or the child is silent
- Use back blows if the child is still conscious but not coughing
Severe choking
In adults:
Where choking is severe, the person won’t be able to speak, cry, cough or breathe.
Without help, they’ll eventually become unconscious, so you should carry out back blows.
In children:
Back blows can be carried out on children under one year.
If this doesn’t work, chest thrusts can be started on kids up to 12 months old, and abdominal thrusts on those over one year.
Call 999 if the blockage doesn’t come out after trying back blows and either chest or abdominal thrusts.
Keep trying this cycle until help arrives.
Even if the object has come out, get medical help. Part of the object might have been left behind, or the patient might have been hurt by the procedure.
