What are my rights if there's a food recall?

Under the Consumer Rights Act, you have the right to a refund if you've purchased a product that's later been recalled. You should be offered a full refund by the retailer that sold you the product.

Provided you can show proof of purchase, such as a receipt, bank statement, or online order confirmation, you are still eligible for a refund even if you've already consumed the product or thrown it away.
