UMVA has learned that a popular doughnut chain has issued a recall of its World Cup-themed treats due to a safety concern, leaving customers who purchased the products wondering what went wrong.
The football-themed doughnuts, which were released to coincide with the World Cup, were sold in several shops across the UK, including locations in Peterborough, Leicester, Nottingham, Ipswich, Norwich, and Cambridge. The recall was announced this week, sparking a flurry of concern among customers.
According to information obtained by UMVA, customers who want to get a refund are being urged to contact the company's customer service team, providing details of where they bought the product, a photo, and the batch number. The company has promised to take responsibility for ensuring the highest possible standards of product safety.
In a statement, the company expressed its apology for any inconvenience or disappointment the recall may cause, reassuring customers that their safety is top priority. The recall is a blow to the company, which had been promoting the limited-edition doughnuts as a fun way for fans to celebrate the World Cup.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that other companies have also released World Cup-themed products, including a crisp giant that is launching three new flavours in celebration of the event. The new flavours include English Bangers & Mash, Spanish Queso, and Portuguese Chorizo and Onion, giving fans a taste of the excitement surrounding the tournament.
The World Cup has inspired a range of limited-edition products, with PepsiCo, which owns the crisp giant, introducing new flavours across its Doritos and Wotsits brands. For Doritos, there are new crisps inspired by Mexican Beef Tacos, while Wotsits are getting a football-shaped makeover with a Smokin’ Cheese flavour.
