Morrisons Savers Cashews Recalled Over Possible Glass

Cashews are the snack you grab without thinking, and that's the problem here. Morrisons is recalling its Savers Cashews after the product was found to possibly contain glass, a hazard you can't taste or spot in a handful of nuts. If you've got a bag in the cupboard, or one sitting open on the side, stop dipping into it for now.

What's Affected

• Product: Morrisons Savers Cashews
• Pack size: 125g
• Best-before dates: 9 August 2026, 6 September 2026, 26 September 2026, 28 September 2026 and 9 October 2026

Five separate best-before dates are caught up in this one. Turn the bag over and check the code printed on the back. If the date matches any of the five above, your pack is included.

What You Should Do

• Don't eat them. Glass fragments can cut your mouth, throat, or gut, and there's no way to pick them out of a bowl of small nuts by eye. This isn't a "give it a rinse" situation, the whole pack is the problem.
• Return it to your nearest Morrisons for a full refund. Point-of-sale notices are up in stores explaining the recall.
• Already eaten some? If you've felt any sharp pain or cutting sensation in your mouth, throat, or stomach, see your GP and mention you may have swallowed glass. Don't wait it out if something feels wrong.
• No affected dates in your bag? You're fine. The recall only covers the five best-before dates listed, so anything outside that is safe to snack on.

The FSA notice points shoppers back to the store rather than a customer helpline, so the quickest route to a refund is just taking the bag in.

Why Glass Ends Up in Food

Physical contamination like this usually traces back to something breaking on the production or packing line, whether that's a light fitting, a bit of machinery, or glass equipment sitting near the food. Nuts are small and pale, so even a tiny shard can hide in plain sight, which is why the FSA treats any "possible presence" as enough to pull the lot. Budget ranges aren't more prone to it than premium ones, this is a process fault rather than a quality one. If you pick up cupboard snacks on a regular shop, the FSA alerts page is the most reliable place to check what's been recalled.
