Waitrose and Partners, High Street, Worthing

Shelves at Waitrose, High Street remained stocked with vegan and vegetarian meat substitutes which had been recalled on February 10 due to an issue with the best before dates.

The ‘THIS’ products had been incorrectly labelled with a best before date two years in the future, February 12 2022, when the products actually expired on Wednesday (February 12).

Meat substitutes included in the recall are This Isn’t Chicken Plant Based Sea Salt & Black Pepper 190g, This Isn’t Chicken Plant Based Goujons with Breadcrumbs 230g, and This Isn’t Chicken Plant Based Tikka Pieces 140g.
