⚠️PRODUCT RECALL: Yasensvit Ltd Shell Eggs - 2026-10-12 Recall: Yasensvit Ltd Shell Eggs - possible presence of Salmonella in the product listed⚠️

The following notice has been issued by the Food Standards Agency.

Product Details
The establishment: Yasensvit Ltd, Kyiv, Ukraine

Raw shell-on eggs - Product Code 3UA1012066
Product code:3UA1012066
Pack size: all sizes
Best before: all dates

Risk statement
The possible presence of Salmonella in the product listed above. Symptoms caused by Salmonella usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. If you are experiencing these symptoms, you should stay away from work, school or nursery until you have stopped having symptoms for at least 48 hours to avoid passing it on to others.

Advice for businesses
Food businesses should check their egg supply chain and the codes stamped on eggs within their control. It is possible eggs with this code originating from Yasensvit Ltd, Kyiv, Ukraine, may have been repacked by other businesses in the UK and have different business details and packing centre codes detailed on the outer packaging. Businesses are advised to immediately stop using or selling eggs with the stamp 3UA1012066, undertake product withdrawals, and where there have been retail sales, to undertake product recalls. If you have been supplied with these eggs, dispose of them safely. These eggs should not be diverted to further processing.

Actions taken by the company
We are asking enforcement authorities to ensure that businesses who have received the affected eggs take action to ensure that these are withdrawn from the market and, where there have been retail sales, recalled. We are also asking the local authorities to inform the FSA of product withdrawal and recall actions.

Advice to consumers
Consumers should check the code stamped on the egg; do not eat eggs stamped with 3UA1012066. Instead, dispose of them at home. These eggs are not sold in large retailers, like supermarkets. Most are used within the catering supply chain; however, some eggs may also be sold at small shops such as corner shops.

⚠️👧 The OPSS warns consumers to stop using pimple popping squishy toys with sharp needles or syringes due to the risk of injury. 👧⚠️

The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has told the public to stop using Pimple Popping Squishy toys with needles or syringes with sharp points.

The warning comes after OPSS launched an urgent investigation following reports these dangerous toys have been sold on the UK market.
OPSS has already told online marketplaces to remove any listings of this type from their platforms. They must continue to remove dangerous products from their platforms and warn consumers of the risk.

While many of the products are marketed as ‘adult stress toys’, they clearly fall within the scope of UK Toy Regulations and present a risk of injury to people of all ages including children. The advertised function of the toy is to use a sharp pointed needle or syringe to produce a bubble in the toy or inject a substance for the user to squeeze, pop or burst.

OPSS has issued a number of Product Safety Reports to help consumers identify these toys and is asking anyone who may have one in their home to stop using them immediately.
Needles should be placed in a puncture-resistant container to prevent them from causing injury until they can be disposed of safely.

Access your local authority’s website, or contact your local authority, for guidance on the safe disposal in your area. Your local pharmacy or GP surgery may accept sharps for disposal but please check in advance.
