Overview
- Waitrose has withdrawn two products — Sweet, Fluffy, Golden Ring Doughnuts 5’s and Jammy, Messy, Squidgy Doughnuts 5’s — after labels failed to declare soya.
- The recall covers packs with best‑before dates 10 November 2026 and 11 November 2026 and applies across England, Scotland and Wales under an FSA alert.
- The Food Standards Agency and Waitrose warn anyone with a soya allergy not to eat the doughnuts and advise returning them to any Waitrose branch for a full refund with no receipt required.
- Waitrose has published customer‑care contact details (0800 188 884, option 4), apologised for the inconvenience and contacted allergy support organisations to notify vulnerable members.
- Undeclared allergens are treated as urgent safety issues by the FSA because they can cause severe or life‑threatening reactions, and the recall follows the agency’s standard withdrawal and consumer‑notification procedures.
