Waitrose issues urgent 'do not eat' warning as it recalls popular ready meal over health risk
A well-known ready meal is being urgently recalled by Waitrose after it was discovered that some of the packs were improperly packaged and include unreported allergies. According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) notice, the Waitrose Indian Takeaway for Two was recalled because 'some packs have been mispacked with spring rolls, which contain sesame and soya, which are not mentioned on the label.' Anybody who has a soy or sesame allergy could be at risk from this. The product in question is the Waitrose Indian Takeaway for Two (1,412g pack size), which expires on July 25, 2025. Waitrose customers who have purchased the item are advised: 'If you have bought the above product and have an allergy to sesame and/or soya, do not eat it. Instead, return it to your local Waitrose and Partners branch for a full refund.' In addition to the recall, Waitrose and Partners have been instructed to get in touch with the appropriate allergy support groups, who will inform their members of the occurrence. The FSA stated: 'The company has also issued a recall notice to its customers, which explains to customers why the product is being recalled and tells them what to do if they have bought 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 'Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.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.' Sesame allergy is one of the most prevalent and potentially dangerous food allergies, particularly in young children. Anaphylaxis, a potentially fatal reaction that can cause the throat to enlarge and breathing to cease, can be brought on by very small doses. Historically, sesame was not obliged to be prominently labelled on food labels like nuts or dairy, which resulted in a number of high-profile errors and requests for stricter labelling regulations. For additional information, customers can reach Waitrose Customer Care at 0800 188 844, option 4.

Lidl urgently recalls popular protein snack from shelves due to ‘health risks' as shoppers urged to ‘return them'
LIDL has urgently pulled a popular protein snack from shelves over health fears, urging shoppers to return it immediately. The Cookies & Cream Protein Bars, made by Healthy Fit, are being recalled from Lidl stores in Northern Ireland because they contain milk and soya, which are not declared in English on the label. 2 2 This poses a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, and/or an allergy to soya. The Food Standards Agency issued an allergy alert warning: 'This product contains milk and soya making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents and/or an allergy to soya.' Healthy Fit is recalling the product and has been advised to contact relevant allergy support organisations. Lidl will display point of sale notices in affected stores to explain why the bars are being removed and what customers should do if they have purchased them. The recall affects the 60g Cookies & Cream Protein Bars with the batch code 002851 and a best before date of January 2026. Customers who have bought the bars and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or soya are advised not to eat them. Instead, they should return the product to the store where it was bought for a full refund, with or without a receipt. Your product recall rights Chief consumer reporter James Flanders reveals all you need to know. Product recalls are an important means of protecting consumers from dangerous goods. As a general rule, if a recall involves a branded product, the manufacturer would usually have lead responsibility for the recall action. But it's often left up to supermarkets to notify customers when products could put them at risk. If you are concerned about the safety of a product you own, always check the manufacturer's website to see if a safety notice has been issued. When it comes to appliances, rather than just food items, the onus is usually on you - the customer - to register the appliance with the manufacturer as if you don't there is no way of contacting you to tell you about a fault. If you become aware that an item you own has been recalled or has any safety noticed issued against it, make sure you follow the instructions given to you by the manufacturer. They should usually provide you with more information and a contact number on its safety notice. In some cases, the manufacturer might ask you to return the item for a full refund or arrange for the faulty product to be collected. You should not be charged for any recall work - such as a repair, replacement or collection of the recalled item Like us on Facebook at and follow us from our main Twitter account at @TheSun.
