This recall follows a recent enforcement action where Asda was fined £410,000 after Trading Standards found expired food items on sale at its Penryn and Hayle stores in Cornwall. The inspection uncovered 62 out-of-date products, including ready-to-eat items such as children's yoghurts that were almost four weeks past their expiration date. ​

Asda has since implemented a new date code checking process in all stores, ensuring that every short-life product is checked daily to prevent such occurrences.
