SAINSBURY’S has issued an urgent ‘do not eat’ warning after pulling popular crisps off the shelves over a serious label mistake.

The major supermarket has issued an urgent recall for its own-brand Onion Rings due to a dangerous labelling error, which could pose a significant risk to people with food allergies.

The 125g packs of onion rings, with a best before date of February 8, 2025, have been removed from shelves as they contain milk, soya, wheat or gluten, none of which are mentioned on the packaging.

This could be potentially life-threatening for customers with allergies to these ingredients or those with coeliac disease.

Shoppers who have already bought the product are being urged not to eat the crisps and instead return them to their nearest Sainsbury’s store for a full refund.

The supermarket has apologised for the mistake and has advised anyone with concerns to contact their helpline or visit their website for more information.

A spokesperson for Sainsbury’s said: “We are recalling our Onion Rings as a precautionary measure due to the presence of allergens that are not listed on the label.

“We advise customers not to consume the product and return it for a refund. No other products are affected.”

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has also issued an alert, warning that the product could pose a serious health risk for those with allergies or intolerances to milk, soya, wheat, or gluten.

The FSA advises customers with any of these allergies to avoid the product and follow the refund process.

Allergy support organisations have been informed of the recall, and notices have been displayed in stores explaining the issue and what customers should do.

The presence of wheat or gluten can be extremely harmful to people suffering with coeliac disease.

Around one per cent of Brits have coeliac disease but only 36 per cent are diagnosed, according to Coeliac UK.

The charity estimates around half a million people in the UK are currently undiagnosed.

Coeliac disease causes the immune system to attack the body’s own tissues when you eat gluten, which is found in wheat, barley and rye.

This damages the gut, preventing the body from taking in nutrients properly.

Symptoms include diarrhoea, tummy pain and bloating, as well as indigestion, constipation, tiredness, weight loss, an itchy rash, infertility or nerve damage.

Patients who continue to eat gluten over time can suffer long-term gut damage, weakening of the bones and iron deficiency.

Many other conditions including non-coeliac gluten sensitivity also need a gluten-free diet, and it is now estimated that at least 10 per cent of UK consumers are following this diet.

The FSA issues alerts if there is a problem with food products which should not be sold.

This could be because it has been contaminated with something, such as mould or metal, or it carries an incorrect ‘use-by‘ date.

If you’ve purchased the Sainsbury’s onion rings and are affected by the labelling error, do not eat them – return them to your local Sainsbury’s store for a full refund.

A NEW Sam’s Club warehouse that will give members a glimpse of how stores will look in the future is to open today.

The chain’s premises in Grapevine, Texas, is reopening two years after being ravaged by a tornado.

Chiefs have hailed the premises as a store of the future and the chain’s first digital-only store.

Chris Nicholas, the Sam’s Club CEO, said the location is part of efforts to pioneer the future of retail, per Forbes.

The store will be strikingly different from traditional Sam’s Club establishments.

This is because checkout lanes – both manned and self-service – have been stripped out.

Shoppers who visit the Grapevine outlet will have to use scan-and-go technology.

Scan-and-go is a tool that lets customers scan items and check out via the chain’s app.

Then, shoppers must show digital receipts to a worker.

Sam’s Club is trialing technology designed to make the checkout process more efficient.

They have unveiled scanners that verify purchases in shopping carts.

The technology was unveiled at the CES convention in Las Vegas earlier this year.

Bosses hope that rolling out the kit will eliminate the need for shoppers to stand in a line waiting for a receipt check.

Bosses acknowledged the feedback from customers who have said they wanted a more convenient store experience.

“This is Sam’s Club at its very best, listening to feedback from members, putting their needs at the center of everything we do – and then applying digital innovations to deliver an industry-leading member experience,” Chris Nicholas, the Sam’s Club CEO, said.

“We are constantly looking at ways for Sam’s Club to be the most convenient membership club and will continue to prioritize using technology to provide a truly differentiated and delightful experience for our members.”

The scanning arches have been rolled out at 300 stores so far, according to the Fox affiliate KTVU-TV.

But bosses hope the arches will be a feature in all 600 warehouses by the end of the year.

The U.S. Sun has reported how shoppers have rejoiced after news about the new technology emerged.

NEW FEATURES

Exit arches are not the only feature that will be on show in the new Grapevine location.

There will be displays for online items and customers will be able to buy sushi that’s made to order.

A robot in the store’s café will be able to make up to 100 pizzas in an hour.

Bosses have revealed that the Grapevine location will inspire future Sam’s Club warehouses.

“The idea is that over time, we will be 100% digital engagement as a business, and you’ve got to prove that things work before you scale them,” Nicholas told CNBC.

Chiefs hope to open 30 warehouses across the next five years.

The pictures appeared to show white powder and burnt aluminium foil.

The 31-year-old singer was in Buenos Aires for his ex-bandmate Niall Horan’s tour when he died after falling from the third floor on Wednesday afternoon.

Buenos Aires emergency services chief Alberto Crescenti said initial findings point towards him fracturing his skull.

Police are now set to look into who may have supplied Liam with drugs, reports Argentine outlet La Nacion.

Cops are planning to test the items in the room to confirm they were illegal substances.

Several images show the inside of the former One Direction singer’s luxury suite at the upmarket Hotel CasaSur Palermo, according to local media.

News outlets such as La Nacion and Clarin confirmed the photos were taken after Liam was found dead.

It comes as:

• Heartbreaking 911 call from hotel staff revealed
• One Direction fans held candlelit vigils outside the hotel
• The singer posted on Snapchat just minutes before his death
• Rylan Clark and Dermot O’Leary paid tribute to the singer
• His ex-fiancée Maya Henry broke her silence after his death
• Liam’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy’s message before he died
• Harry Styles’ mum pays heartbreaking tribute to the star
• Inside the hotel where Liam tragically died

They appear to show traces of a white powder and burnt aluminium foil both in the bathroom and living area.

Argentina’s biggest newspaper Clarin published the images alongside the report: “Damage and drugs in the hotel room Liam Payne was staying in in Buenos Aires.”

The singer had been open about his battles with drugs in the past

In 2019, Liam revealed he suffered suicidal thoughts as he struggled with his fame.

A smashed TV can also be seen in the room next to a half-drunk champagne glass.

A final 911 call from hotel staff revealed they had asked for “urgent assistance” from cops to help with a guest “behaving erratically”.

Argentinian police said they were called to the hotel on Wednesday after staff reported an “aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol”.

Witnesses at the hotel reported Liam even had to be carried back to his room, according to TMZ.

The head of reception made two calls, telling a 911 operator in the first: “We have a guest who is destroying everything in his room. We need someone to come.”

He phoned back after the line went dead, repeating his request: “We need you to send someone urgently because I don’t know if the guest’s life is in danger.

“They must be in a room that has a balcony. And well, we’re a little bit worried he’ll do something, that he’ll put his life at risk.”

At around 5pm local time (9pm UK time) on Wednesday cops found Liam dead in the hotel’s inner courtyard.

The spokesperson for the local ambulance service said Liam’s death had been confirmed on the spot after he had fallen and suffered severe injuries.

A red tent was put up over the body as cops began the investigation into the tragic death.

Forensic police could be seen working with ambulance staff at the scene before they moved his body to the morgue.

Police will now carry out an autopsy with a post-mortem expected later today.

The singer was in Buenos Aires for a holiday after going to see pal Niall Horan’s tour.

He had arrived on September 30 with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy.

Liam had shared a post on Snapchat only minutes before his death showing himself with girlfriend Kate Cassidy looking into a mirror.

Tributes have poured in for the singer with celebrities and fans alike sharing their heartbreak.

Harry Styles’ mum shared a heartbreaking tribute on Instagram writing in the caption: “Just a boy…”.

And Liam’s ex-fiancée Maya Henry was ” in shock” in the wake of the tragic news.

Weeping fans crowded outside the hotel holding a candle light vigil overnight in honour of the beloved singer.

Many mourned the loss of Liam with flowers as they wiped away tears.

Liam had posted earlier in the day talking about riding horses, playing polo, and looking forward to returning home to see his dog.

He has left behind his seven-year-old son Bear who he shared with Cheryl after the pair met when Liam was on the X Factor.

The Wolverhampton-born was born August 29, 1993, and had early health battles and was bullied at secondary school.

He first shot to fame aged just 14 when he appeared on the popular singer competition in 2008.

Liam returned to sing in front of Simon Cowell in 2010 before he was grouped up with four other talented young singers and went on to form the iconic One Direction band.

NEW cars sold in New York within the next five years could come with intelligent speed assistance tech.

A key member of the New York State Assembly has introduced the legislation in an attempt to reduce traffic accidents.

The new bill states the speed assistance system will alert drivers using an audio and visual signal when they drive more than 10mph over the speed limit.

However, according to the Observer Today, emergency vehicles will be exempt.

The system, which is already present in cars sold in Europe, has already been approved by California lawmakers – and will be installed in new cars there by 2030.

The original version of this legislation would have required active speed assistance, which would have physically stopped vehicles from speeding.

This was later amended to passive speed assistance, which merely warns drivers when they are speeding and doesn’t force them to slow down.

Robert Carroll, a New York State rep, said: “The relationship between speeding and increased traffic fatalities is well established.

“A report from the New York State Comptroller found that of the 1,175 motor vehicle fatalities in 2022, one-third involved speeding.

“Intelligent speed assistance technology has been recommended by the National Transportation Safety Board to be standard equipment in all new vehicles and to be effective in reducing speeding by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.”

California’s bill works by using GPS technology to compare a vehicle’s speed with speed limits in the area.

Once the car is at least 10 mph over the speed limit, the system would emit “a brief, one-time visual and audio signal to alert the driver.”

It’s not yet known if the tech will include all local roads, or if the system will update when local governments change speed limits.

From July this year, new cars sold in Europe will have the technology installed, though drivers will be able to turn it off.

The National Transportation Safety Board recommended the tech for all new cars after a crash in January 2022, when a man with a history of speeding violations was travelling more than 100mph, ran a red light and hit a minivan, killing himself and eight other people.

This comes as legislation introduced in New York last year would require speed limiters – similar to ignition interlock devices – for drivers who accumulate 11 or more points on their driver’s licence over a 12-month period.

Elsewhere, Google has unveiled a free, helpful tool that could save drivers from getting pulled over for speeding.

In a recent software update, the tech brand added incident reporting and a speedometer to Google Maps – two features that have long been available on competitor Waze.

Incident reporting allows drivers to tell other users whether they’re stuck behind an accident or caught in a police speed trap.

And a speedometer has been displayed beside the road’s speed limit so drivers can properly monitor whether they’re following the rules of the road.
