Sainsbury's issues emergency warning over two items and says 'do not eat'

Yorkshire Provender Jacket & Toast Topper Lentil Chilli and Yorkshire Provender Jacket & Toast Topper Haricot Beans are both impacted.

An urgent recall warning has been issued as Sainsbury’s shoppers are urged "do not eat" two products over an allergy risk. Sainsbury's, which is rivalled by the likes of Asda, Morrisons, Lidl and Aldi, says Hain Daniels is recalling Yorkshire Provender Jacket & Toast Toppers because they may contain peanuts which are not mentioned on the label.

This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to peanuts. Yorkshire Provender Jacket & Toast Topper Lentil Chilli and Yorkshire Provender Jacket & Toast Topper Haricot Beans are both impacted.

Hain Daniels is recalling the above products from customers and has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall. The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers.

If you have bought the above products and have an allergy to peanuts, do not eat them. Instead return them to the Sainsbury’s store from where they were bought for a full refund or contact Hain Daniels’ customer service team at consumercare@haindaniels.com / 0800 0014409.

The Food Standards Agency warned: "Sometimes there will be a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold. Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).

"Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk. When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA will issue an Allergy Alert."

Food Standards Agency’s Director of Food Policy, Rebecca Sudworth, said: "Those with a peanut allergy should avoid consuming products containing mustard as an ingredient until we identify the individual products affected. Parents and carers of children who have a peanut allergy should take care to check the labels of food they buy and, if eating out, or getting a takeaway, ask the restaurant or cafe about foods that might contain mustard."
