Some people with asthma are sensitive to sulphites and relatively small amounts may trigger an asthma attack. If you’re allergic or sensitive to sulphites, please do not eat this product but return it to the nearest store for a refund.
Asda is withdrawing the affected product from sale. Customer notices will be displayed in stores, explaining to customers why the product has been withdrawn. The company will also contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the withdrawal.
