Asda withdraw Chicken and Sweetcorn Lattice Bake
Wednesday 27 February 2008
Asda has withdrawn some of its own-brand Chicken and Sweetcorn Lattice Bake (400g) because the product contains fish, which is not mentioned on the label. This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone allergic to fish. The Agency has issued an Allergy Alert.
Anyone with a fish allergy is advised not to eat this product.

Allergy Alerts
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 Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.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. Click on 'Get alerts' in the box at the bottom of this page to find more details.
You can get details of all the latest allergy alerts as soon as they're issued by getting the details sent as a SMS text message direct to your mobile phone.
