Horsham District Council said MDA Products Ltd, based in Blackpool, had repackaged, labelled, and distributed frozen foods including burgers, fish fillets and seafood sticks without permission to handle the products.

Incorrect use-by and best before dates had also been placed on many of these items and as a result, they are being withdrawn from sale.

The council says the frozen items have been supplied under the brand names of Lytham Fish Co, Tasty Chicken Co, and MDA to branches of Factory Foods, Fultons Foods, Jack Fultons, and Home Bargain stores.

These businesses are undertaking their own recall, although it is unclear if other shops in the area may also hold stock.

- 4 Cod Fillets wrapped in crunchy golden breadcrumbs, 480g

A council spokesman said: “Local retailers and caterers who may have received these items must ensure that they are not displayed for sale and the council’s Environmental Health team should be contacted for advice.
