This week’s recall roundup from the UK and North America includes sandwiches, muffins, broccoli and noodles…
In the United Kingdom…
E H Booths is recalling a number of sandwiches because they contain rye and oats which are not mentioned on the label. This means a potential health risk for anyone with an allergy to rye or oats.
Affected sandwiches are the Lancashire Cheese and Chutney, BLT and Chicken Salad sandwiches. All single packs have been affected and all use by dates. No other E H Booths products have been affected.
Star Distribution UK has recalled its 4-pack Cake Zone Muffins because of incorrect allergen labelling. Flavours affected are ‘Chunky Cherry’ and ‘Double Chocolate’.
The muffins contain egg, milk and wheat (gluten) which are correctly emphasised on the label, which means a possible health risk to those with an intolerance to wheat or gluten, egg or milk/milk constituents.
