Overview
- The Food Standards Agency issued the urgent Allergy Alert on Saturday after two products were found to contain allergens not listed on their labels.
- Capsicana recalled Easy Going Mild Salsa 285g, identifying batch code 6091 with a May 2027 best-before date as containing undeclared barley (gluten) and mustard.
- Dundeis UK Ltd recalled Minton & Donello Organic White Orzo 500g, covering batch code 78850 with best-before dates of Jan 31 2027, May 2 2027 and May 24 2027 because it contains undeclared wheat (gluten).
- Both manufacturers have issued point-of-sale notices, contacted allergy support organisations, and told customers not to eat the products and to return them to stores such as Tesco and Sainsbury's for a full refund with no receipt required.
- The FSA uses Allergy Alerts when labelling or ingredient-control failures create health risks for people with allergies or coeliac disease, and this recall highlights gaps in supply-chain traceability that regulators and retailers may now review.
