Food Alert Warning for Convenience Stores, Corner Shops,
International Food Shops, Wholesalers and Consumers!

Frozen foods in packaging labelled Inarah’s Frozen Food, Inarah’s Fine Food, and New York Crispy may be unsafe to eat and should be withdrawn from sale and recalled from consumers. The foods should not be consumed. This is due to food hygiene and safety concerns.

The products affected cover a wide range of frozen foods including chicken, beef, fish and vegetarian items, packaged in different size packaging with multiple best before dates and/or batch numbers.

Shop owners and wholesalers should immediately check their frozen food cabinets and stop sales, undertake product withdrawals and where there have been retail sales, undertake product recalls. Products should be disposed of safely.

Consumers should not eat these products and instead dispose of them at home.

Warwickshire food businesses who have this product in stock are urged to let Warwickshire Trading Standards know. This will assist the service to gather further information and aid the recall. Email [email protected]

Buying a used car? Some online car adverts are copied or cloned.
Before you travel or pay a deposit, check if the advert is genuine:
🔍 Reverse image search the photos
📆 Check MOT history for mileage and dates
💷 Beware of very low prices
📱 Look for duplicate ads on multiple platforms
If anything doesn’t match, walk away.

Buying a used car? Fake or misleading reviews are more common than people think.
Look out for:
⭐ Clusters of perfect reviews
⭐ No details about the car
⭐ Repeated wording
⭐ Generic profile names
Genuine reviews usually share real experience.

Buying a used car? A cheap car far away isn’t always a bargain.
When things go wrong, long distance buying can mean:
👉 Extra fuel & travel
👉 Time off work
👉 Multiple return trips
👉 Stressful returns/rejections
Local traders make aftercare easier.

Buying a used car? Online ads could be designed to impress – not inform.
If an advert looks too polished, you might not be seeing the full picture.
A trustworthy trader will send:
📹 An unedited walkaround
🛞 Close-ups of tyres/interior
📄 Service history before you travel
If they refuse – big red flag.

Before you view a used car…
Check if the ad is even REAL.

📝 Compare MOT history
📆 Duplicate ads = red flag
💷 ‘Too cheap’? Walk away.

Buying a Used Car? Watch for Red Flags!
Ensure the trader takes credit cards for Section 75 protection. Don’t skip the test drive!
If the seller limits the route, that’s a red flag!

Buying a used car? Don’t rely on vague descriptions. ‘Sold as seen’ doesn’t remove your rights – traders can’t remove your rights. Do your checks: ask for the service history and make sure you see the car in person before you pay.
If something goes wrong, keep screenshots of the advert and photos of the fault(s), and get advice from the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline on 0808 223 1133.

A valid MOT isn’t a green light when buying a used car as it just tells you about its condition on a specific day.
Look at the MOT history
Repeated faults
Milage gaps
Ignored advisories
These are red flags!
