A popular lunchbox treat has been pulled from supermarket shelves as customers are issued a health warning.
Sainsbury’s and Asda have issued the recall on the bread rolls after fears an error with the packaging could put customers with a specific allergy at risk. The recall was issued for a batch of McGhee’s Scottish Brown Rolls over an undeclared allergen.
McGhee’s Family Bakers are recalling the packs of 6 Scottish Brown Rolls due to several packs actually containing white rolls, which contain soya. The batch in question being recalled is number LS5007, with the best before date January 12, 2025.
Anyone who has bought one of the affected packs has been urged to return them to the store where they were bought for a full refund, with or without a receipt. No other products by McGhee’s are known to be affected.
A statement issued through Food Standards Scotland said: “McGhee’s Family Bakers is recalling the above product which was sold at Asda and Sainsbury’s stores 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.
“These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.” It comes after Morrisons issued an urgent recall shortly before Christmas on one of its products over health fears.
The supermarket’s own brand Crushed Garlic tubes were recalled after they were found to have been missing an ingredient which prevents microbiological growth. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) says the lack of the ingredient made the product “potentially unsafe to eat”.
