Laoganma Brand Black Bean Chili Sauce has been pulled from shelves
Laoganma Brand Black Bean Chili Sauce has been pulled from shelves because it contains undeclared peanuts.
The Fortune Foods product is also stocked in popular retailers such as Sainsbury's and is widely available in Asian supermarkets.
Affected items have the batch code 18232 and show a best before date of 8 March 2026.
A notice on the supermarket's website warns that the product should not be consumed.
Shoppers have been advised to return the item to stores and consult allergy support groups.
A safety notice released by the distributor reads: "A limited number of units of Laogana Brand Black Bean Chili Sauce with the Best Before 08/03/2026, have been mislabelled due to an incorrect label being applied during packaging.
"The Laoganma Brand Black Bean Chili Sauce 280g label has been wrongly placed on Laoganma Brand Chilli Oil with Peanuts 275g.
"As a result, peanuts, a known allergen, is not properly declared on the ingredient list.
"While not all units are affected and this issue was isolated, the safety of our customers is our highest priority.
"Individuals with a peanut allergy may risk a serious or life threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product."
