FNM Bakery Limited has issued an urgent recall affecting 18 different bread products from its First National Bakery range following concerns about possible rodent contamination at the company's production facility.
The Food Standards Agency published the alert warning consumers across England that the items may pose a health risk and should not be consumed.
The recall encompasses a wide variety of baked goods, from traditional loaves to speciality Caribbean breads, all manufactured at the same site where the contamination issue was identified.
Shoppers who have purchased any of the affected items are being urged to take immediate action.

This recall follows just days after Tesco was forced to withdraw its Finest Summer Edition Chocolate Affogato Dessert from sale due to fears it may contain plastic fragments.
The frozen dessert, sold in 538g packs with best-before dates extending to April 2027, should be returned to any Tesco branch for a full refund without requiring a receipt.
The Food Standards Agency issues Product Recall Information Notices to alert both the public and local authorities when food safety concerns arise.
A recall represents a more serious intervention than a simple withdrawal, actively requesting customers to return potentially dangerous products.
