Tesco and Waitrose have recalled food products over incorrect labelling that could expose customers with mustard, oat or gluten allergies to health risks.
|
Food products from Tesco and Waitrose have been recalled due to incorrect labelling, with allergens going undeclared, which has resulted in consumers being warned.
Tesco has recalled its Finest Caesar & Smoked Bacon Coleslaw, as some of the 270g bags may contain Tesco Finest Four Cheese Potato Salad. The potato salad contains mustard, which has not been listed as an ingredient on the coleslaw packaging, and this may be very dangerous for individuals with a mustard allergy.
It is only the packets with a use-by date of September 4 that are under the recall. People with a mustard allergy are advised to avoid consuming the product and return it to any Tesco outlet for a full refund without the need for a receipt.
This product recall shows how crucial it is for food products with undeclared allergens to be recalled from UK supermarket shelves in order to avoid potential health risks.
Waitrose & Partners has recalled its Rhubarb Crumble due to the presence of oats, which do not appear on the product label. This 500g pudding has a use-by date of August 19, 2026, and can also be frozen at home for up to one month.
This product is likely to be dangerous for people who are allergic or intolerant to oats or gluten, as well as those with coeliac disease.
This is another case of Tesco and Waitrose products being recalled because the supermarkets are monitoring the labelling of their products.
They both apologise to their customers for any trouble their recalls may have caused. The Food Standards Agency asks people who have such allergies or intolerances to follow the recall notice. Business Honor observes that accurate allergen labelling remains essential for supermarket food safety, as even an incorrect label can expose vulnerable consumers to serious health risks.
