Waitrose Recalls Oat Drink After Temperature Control Failure
The supermarket said the drink may be unsafe to drink and told customers to return it for a full refund.
- On Tuesday, Waitrose recalled its Waitrose Essential Unsweetened Oat Drink due to a failure in temperature control that may pose a risk of microbiological contamination.

- Affected 1 litre bottles were purchased between September 2 and September 21, with best-before dates ranging from August 14 through October 29, 2026.
- The FSA advises customers not to consume the product and instead "return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund."
- Waitrose apologized, stating "We apologise that it has been necessary to recall this product and for the inconvenience caused," while point-of-sale notices inform customers in all retail stores.
