If retailers do not accept returns, customers can contact Organico directly at sales@organico.co.uk. The company has assured that full refunds will be provided to affected customers.
The Food Standards Agency stated: "Action taken by the company Organico is recalling the above product. Point of sale notices will be displayed in all retail stores that are selling this product.
