Sainsbury’s issues 'do not eat' warning over food items due to allergy risk as products recalled
Two food items sold at Sainsbury’s have been recalled over fears they could pose a risk to anyone with a peanut allergy.
The warning has been issued over Yorkshire Provender Jacket & Toast Topper Mexican Inspired Lentil Chilli and Yorkshire Provender Jacket & Toast Topper Haricot Beans in a Spicy Tomato Sauce. Shoppers are being told not to eat them if they have a peanut allergy but to return the items to a Sainsbury’s store where a refund will be given.
The supermarket says in its warning notice: "Sainsbury’s have been made aware that Hain Celestial Group is announcing a voluntary recall of Yorkshire Provender Jacket & Toast Topper Mexican Inspired Lentil Chilli and Yorkshire Provender Jacket & Toast Topper Haricot Beans in a Spicy Tomato Sauce because the chili flakes in the soup topping may contain undeclared peanut residue. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts may be at risk if they consume these products.
