Farmfoods is recalling its Farmfoods Ultimate Keralan Chicken Curry because it contains prawns which are not mentioned on the label.
The product contains crustaceans (prawns) which are not mentioned on the packing.
Farmfoods said it poses a "potential health risk" to "individuals with seafood allergies or intolerances".
The recall covers food with the product code L550 in a 400g pack and a best before date of February 13 2026.
Shoppers are being asked to return the affected items to their nearest store, where a full refund will be provided.
No receipt is needed for you to return the pack.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) added: "For further information, please contact Farmfoods customer services on 0121 700 7160."
Farmfoods said in its warning notice: "It has come to our attention that a limited quantity of our 400g Farmfoods Keralan Chicken Curry (product code L550) with 13/02/2026 best-before date were mistakenly produced with prawns.
"This ingredient is not declared on the product label, posing a potential health risk to individuals with seafood allergies or intolerances.
"If you have this product and have any type of seafood allergy or intolerance, please do not consume the product.
Viral 'Dubai-style' chocolate is pulled from UK supermarket shelves over dangerous health risk
"Please return the affected product to the store where the product was purchased for a full refund. No receipt is required.
"We take consumer safety very seriously and sincerely apologise to our loyal customers for this situation and any inconvenience it may have caused.
The best before date is shown on the bottom right corner of the front of pack."
The FSA says more than 30 per cent of adults report some types of adverse reactions when eating food.
Around 6 per cent of the UK adult population is estimated to have a clinically confirmed food allergy.
This equates to around 2.4 million adults in the UK.
It comes after a Dubai-style chocolate was pulled from supermarket shelves across the UK, after being found to pose a dangerous health risk.
A food alert has been issued to consumers and food businesses warning of the possible health risks the chocolate products present.
Dubai-style chocolate products that have been purchased from certain manufacturers were the subject of the recall.
Last month, the Food Standards Agency issued a similar warning about the Neosis Schokolade Love of Dubai chocolate too, due to it containing peanuts.
Shops were told to immediately stop sales of the product, as this was not mentioned on the label.

When the trip of a lifetime ends in a medical emergency. From bleeding eyes following a mosquito bite to the stomach bug that has lasted three years - these holidaymakers tell their cautionary stories
The idea of a holiday in a far-flung corner of the world sounds appealing but it can come with risks and for some unlucky travellers that means the experience of developing a tropical disease. Just this week, for example, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) warned cases of the mosquito-borne infection, chikungunya, which causes fever and joint pain – and can in some cases be fatal – had more than doubled between January and June compared with the previous year in people coming back from Indian Ocean holidays.
