The MOMA Foods porridge recall was announced in the UK on 22 March 2026 after possible mouse contamination was identified at a manufacturing site, according to the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

The recall covers multiple porridge pots and sachet products across several flavours and pack sizes. The FSA said the affected products may be unsafe to eat due to possible contamination.

The issue is linked to a manufacturing site rather than a single product line, which is why multiple porridge variants and lot numbers are included in the recall notice. The affected products were sold through UK retail channels.

MOMA Foods has initiated a recall and confirmed that point-of-sale notices will be displayed in stores and on its website. These notices explain why the products are being recalled and what customers should do.

Consumers have been advised not to eat the affected products and to return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund. The recall is listed under reference FSA-PRIN-13-2026.

Removing affected products from shelves, notifying customers and managing reverse logistics are standard procedures in recalls of this type, typically involving coordination between manufacturers, retailers and regulators.

Further updates may follow if additional batches or products are added to the recall as the investigation continues.

Why it matters

The MOMA Foods porridge recall highlights how contamination incidents at manufacturing sites can affect multiple product lines at once, particularly in high-volume grocery categories such as breakfast and convenience foods, which are a core part of the UK FMCG sector.

For retailers, recalls create operational pressure through product withdrawals, in-store notices and refund handling. For manufacturers, recalls can disrupt supply, increase costs and create reputational risk, especially when the issue is linked to production facilities.
