A food company in the UK called Daylesford Organic is taking back some of its foods because they might have bugs in them. The foods are different kinds of crispy breads and some biscuits. A store named Tesco also had to take back a food used for Christmas because it might have had the same problem. A group that makes sure food is safe says people should not eat these foods and should throw them away. The company will give people their money back if they bought the bad food.

Sometimes, little bugs called moth larvae can get into the grains that are used to make food. If these bugs are in the food, it's not safe to eat. A person who helps keep food safe says that people should listen to the warnings and ask the company for help if they bought the food that's not good. This problem shows that it's very important for companies to check their food carefully to keep people safe.

This problem is like another one that happened before when a store called Tesco had to take back a special food for Christmas. Bugs in food can make people sick. People should look out for any news about bad food so they can stay healthy. It's important to pay attention to what the people who check food say.
