Urgent Warning: Do Not Eat These Frozen Food Products, Says FSA
Consumers across the UK are being urged to avoid a variety of frozen food products after the Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued an urgent safety alert. The warning covers items produced by Inarah's Frozen Foods Ltd, based in Walsall, West Midlands, and marketed under the brands Inarah's Frozen Foods, Inarah's Fine Foods, or New York Crispy.
According to the FSA, the company failed to demonstrate that these products—which include chicken, beef, fish, and vegetarian options—were manufactured and handled in a manner that meets legal food safety requirements. The agency stressed that any food not produced under proper hygiene controls could pose a risk to consumers.
The affected products were supplied to businesses throughout England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Retailers and food service operators have been instructed to immediately stop sales, remove the items from shelves, and initiate product recalls. The FSA also advised consumers who may have purchased these items not to eat them and to dispose of them safely at home.
All pack sizes and all date codes are covered by the warning. The labels may list the manufacturer as either Inarah Frozen Foods Ltd, Regal Drive, Walsall; Four Seasons Food Group, Fenton Industrial Estate, Stoke-on-Trent; or KBH Foods, BD9 4TS.
“Inarah's Frozen Foods Ltd has been unable to demonstrate that the products in this alert have been produced and handled safely,” an FSA spokesperson said. “Products that have not met food hygiene and safety requirements pose a risk to consumers and may be unsafe to eat.”
This is not the first time the FSA has taken action over food safety gaps in the frozen supply chain. Industry experts note that such recalls highlight the ongoing challenge regulators face in ensuring small to medium producers comply with rigorous hygiene standards, especially when their products end up in the kitchens of households, restaurants, and institutional caterers alike.
Inarah's Frozen Foods Ltd has been contacted for comment but had not responded at the time of publication.
