Product recall: Top retail brands recall M&Ms after discovering banned substance

Product recall

Candy giant, Mars Wrigley is recalling some of their M&Ms Crispy products sold in Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Iceland. This is as a result of them discovering a genetically modified organism (GMO) in an ingredient produced by one of their suppliers.

Mars Wrigley does not use GMOs in any of its products that are manufactured in Europe. In addition to that, there is no GMO that is licensed for this ingredient under UK law and so the products must be recalled. Here are the products that have been recalled, users are advised to desist from using them:
