Booths recalls Lemon Meringue Cake because of undeclared almonds
Booths is recalling Lemon Meringue Cake because it contains almonds (nuts) which are not mentioned on the label. Due to a packaging error, some products contain Bakewell Cake instead of Lemon Meringue Cake. This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to nuts.

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 Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.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