Asda has withdrawn some pots of its Chip Shop Curry Sauce Mix with a ‘best before’ end date of October 2016 because the pots contain a cheese sauce mix. The product label does not mention the presence of milk. This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents.

About allergy alerts
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 Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.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.
