Recall Roundup: More Undeclared Peanuts And Potential Glue Contamination
In the latest instalment of Recall Roundup, New Food highlights recent food and beverage recalls in the UK and US.
Undeclared peanutsFollowing FGS Ingredients Ltd's recent recall of over 50 products containing mustard powder due to possible peanut contamination, several other items have been added to the recall list this week. These products pose a potential health risk for anyone with a peanut allergy.
For the full list of recalled products, visit the latest announcement on the UK Food Standards Agency website.
If you have bought any of the recalled products listed on the site and have an allergy to peanuts, do not eat them. Instead, please follow the advice mentioned in the attached notices on the FSA announcement page.
Also linked to this wider peanut contamination in mustard, Hain Daniels is recalling its Yorkshire Provender Jacket & Toast Topper Lentil Chilli and Haricot Beans, both 300g, with a use-by date of 16-Oct-24, due to undeclared peanuts.
Consumers who purchased these products and have a peanut allergy have been advised not to consume them and instead return them to Sainsbury's for a full refund.
Several undeclared allergensIn the UK this week, supermarket chain Waitrose has recalled its Waitrose Easy to Cook Scottish Salmon En Croute with Cheese and Chive Sauce (350g) and Waitrose Easy to Cook Salmon and Sweet Potato Curry (500g) due to undeclared allergens, including milk, mustard, soya and wheat (gluten).
These products, with best-before dates of 02 and 03-Oct-24, pose a health risk for anyone with coeliac disease or allergies to these ingredients.
Waitrose has informed allergy support organisations and issued recall notices to customers, advising those who have purchased these items not to consume them and instead return them for a refund.
Potential glue contaminationAlso in the UK, Tesco has recalled its Tesco Finest 6 All Butter Pastry Mince Pies due to the potential presence of dried glue from the packaging, making them unsafe to eat.
The recall affects 6-pack products with best-before dates of 04-Oct-24, 26-Oct-24, 02-Nov-24 and 10-Nov-24.
If you have purchased the affected product, do not eat it. Return it to any Tesco store for a full refund.
Potential metal contaminationSupermarket giant Marks & Spencer has recalled its M&S Smooth Butternut Squash Soup, 600g, due to the possible presence of small pieces of metal, making it unsafe to eat.
The affected product has a use-by date of 06-Oct-24.
Customers are advised not to consume it. Instead, return it to your nearest store for a full refund.
Undeclared wheat and walnutsIn the US this week, Macrina Bakery has voluntarily recalled its "Mini Raspberry Lemon Coffee Cake" due to potential allergen contamination.
Thirty-eight loaves of the gluten-free cake were mislabelled, leading to undeclared wheat and walnuts being present in the product.
The recall affects items with the universal product code (UPC) 8 57297 00745 4 and a sell-by date of 09/17.
Undeclared milkFinally, Hammond's Candies has recalled its "Dark Chocolate Filled Mini Waffle Cones," 4-ounce bags, due to undeclared milk allergens.
The recalled products, distributed across 39 states, have UPC code 6 91355 90513 5, item number FC23212, and product codes LN0525453, with use-by dates of 20-Mar-25 and 20-May-25.
The recall follows a consumer report of an allergic reaction, and testing revealed the presence of milk proteins not listed on the packaging.
If a product containing undeclared milk is consumed by someone with a milk allergy, it can lead to serious, potentially life-threatening consequences. Mild to moderate reactions may include rashes, swelling of the lips, tongue, face or throat, and stomach pain, nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea, while more severe reactions may involve wheezing or difficulty breathing, dizziness, fainting, or a drop in blood pressure, and anaphylaxis.
If you have purchased the affected product, do not consume it. Return it to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement.

About allergy alertsSometimes 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.
