Action taken by the company
The company has recalled the product from customers and will be contacting the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall. The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice, a copy of which is attached to this alert.
Sometimes there will be a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold. Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk. When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA will issue an Allergy Alert.
