The affected products were manufactured by Coldwater Seafoods UK Ltd. The Asda Extra Special brand fish pie product has only been sold through Jack Fulton Freezer Centres, and the Quality Foods Luxury brand Fish Pie has been sold through MAS Frozen Foods. No other Asda product or product sold in Asda stores is affected by this recall.

Point-of-sale notices will displayed in all stores telling the public the reason for the recall and that customers can return the affected product for a full refund. In addition, Coldwater Seafood UK Ltd has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will inform their at-risk members of the recall.

No other Quality Foods or Asda branded products or batch codes are known to be affected.

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 Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.

In such situations the Agency will issue an Allergy Alert. It is also possible to subscribe to an email alert system to receive automatic messages whenever Allergy Alerts are issued.
