Asda Farmfoods Argos Recalls: Shoppers Urged To Return Products For Full Refund

Asda Farmfoods Argos Recalls have been highlighted as consumers are asked to inspect kitchen cupboards and appliances after a series of product withdrawals. The Food Standards Agency has published details of withdrawn items, which include mispacked desserts, undeclared allergens in snacks and air fryers that pose a fire risk.

Asda Farmfoods Argos Recalls: Which Items Are Affected

The most recent recalls cover several categories. Key items listed include:

• Gü Blonde Chocolate Cheesecake: The product has been mispacked with a cheesecake that contains hazelnuts, creating a possible health risk for anyone with a hazelnut allergy. One affected pack size is 2 x 82g with batch code 226044 and a use‑by date of March 12, 2026. The cheesecake is sold at some supermarkets for £2. 50.
• Farmfoods Ritz Cheese Sandwich: This product contains milk, soya and wheat (gluten) that are not clearly highlighted on the label. The recall affects products originating from Indonesia and does not impact products from other countries.
• Tower Air Fryer Models: Several Tower air fryer models manufactured between January 2022 and April 2023 have been withdrawn because they can overheat and ignite during use, posing a fire risk and failing safety requirements. Affected model codes include T17061BLK (Tower 4Ltr Manual Air Fryer), T17067 (Tower 4Ltr Digital Air Fryer), T17087 (Tower 2Ltr Compact Manual Air Fryer), T17129L (Tower Vortx 8L Air Fryer) and T17129 (Tower Vortx 8L Air Fryer). These products were sold by multiple retailers, including Argos, and others listed by regulators.
• Ramipril 5mg Capsules: Certain packs have been withdrawn after a blister pack was found to contain Amlodipine 5mg tablets due to a potential packaging error. The affected batch code is GR164099.

What Shoppers Should Do Next

Consumers who have bought any of the recalled products are being asked not to use or eat them if they are affected by the listed risks. For food with undeclared allergens, do not eat the product if you have the relevant allergy or intolerance; return it to the store from which it was bought for a full refund. No receipt is required for refunds in these cases.

For the Farmfoods Ritz Cheese Sandwich recall, customers can contact Farmfoods Customer Services on 0121 700 7160 for further information. Farmfoods has issued an apology to customers and said it takes consumer safety seriously.

For the mispacked cheesecake, consumers with a hazelnut allergy are advised not to eat the product and to return it to the retailer for a refund. For the Tower air fryer models, owners should stop using the appliance and follow the recall instructions published by regulators and retailers; the appliances are being withdrawn because of a potential fire risk.

People who have received the Ramipril batch GR164099 should check that the medication name on the carton matches the blister strips inside. If the carton contains blister strips labelled as Amlodipine 5mg tablets, contact the dispensing pharmacy. If blister strips are correctly labelled as Ramipril 5mg Capsules, no further action is required. Anyone who believes they may have taken Amlodipine supplied in error and is experiencing side effects should seek immediate medical advice and take the leaflet and any remaining tablets to a pharmacy or GP practice.

Why These Withdrawals Matter And What To Watch For

Regulatory withdrawals and recalls are issued when products pose a health or safety risk, for example when allergens are not declared on the label or products fail electrical safety standards. Shoppers are being urged to check cupboards, fridges, freezers and kitchen appliances for the items named above and follow the return and safety advice set out by regulators and retailers.

Further updates will be published by the relevant regulatory bodies and retailers as recall actions progress. In the meantime, affected consumers should stop using the recalled items and return them for a full refund or contact the pharmacy if they hold the affected medication batch.
