Overview

• The Food Standards Agency issued an urgent allergy alert for Waitrose’s 1,412g Indian Takeaway for 2 meal kits after discovering mispacked spring rolls containing undeclared sesame and soya.
• The recall covers packs with a July 25, 2025 use-by date and advises anyone with sesame or soya allergies not to eat them and to return them for a full refund.
• Waitrose apologised for the error, launched a dedicated helpline at 0800 188 884 (option 4), and notified relevant allergy support organisations of the recall.
• The mix-up comes despite Natasha’s Law mandating full ingredient and allergen labelling on pre-packed foods.
• The FSA emphasised its role in enforcing food safety rules and warned that even trace amounts of sesame or soya can trigger life-threatening reactions.
