Sainsbury’s has issued an alert for one of its popular sharing snacks, warning of a potential health risk. The supermarket has recalled its 125g pack of own-brand onion rings crisps due to concerns raised by the Food Standards Agency. The FSA revealed that the crisps contain milk, soya, and wheat (gluten), which are not listed on the label. This poses a potential health risk for individuals with allergies to soya, milk, wheat, gluten, or those with coeliac disease. The affected products have a best-before date of February 8, 2025. Sainsbury’s has taken action by recalling the product from shelves and advising customers to return the item to the store for a full refund. Additionally, the supermarket has reached out to allergy support organisations to inform their members about the recall. Customers are urged not to consume the product if they have any allergies or intolerances and to visit the Sainsbury’s website for more information.
The Food Standards Agency highlighted the importance of allergy alerts, stating that products may be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers due to missing or incorrect allergy labelling. In such cases, the FSA issues an Allergy Alert to ensure consumer safety. Sainsbury’s has implemented measures to address the issue, including issuing point-of-sale notices to inform customers about the recall.
If you have purchased the affected product and have allergies or intolerances, it is advised not to consume it and return it to the store for a refund. For further details, visit Sainsbury’s official website.
The recall serves as a reminder of the significance of accurate food labelling and the necessity of prompt action to mitigate potential health risks for consumers.
