Major baby food brand Ella's Kitchen recalls product over safety fears

Babyfood manufacturer Ella's Kitchen has recalled one of its popular foods amid safety concerns. A batch of its Banana Multigrain Baby Rice contains undeclared oats.

This makes it a potential health risk for those with coeliac disease, an allergy or intolerance to oats or gluten. The inclusion of oats also makes this product thicker in texture than it should be for a 4month+ product.

The affected pack sizes are all 125g and have a batch code of 27922 with a best before date of October 6, 2023. In a recall notice the Food Standards Agency said: "If you have bought the above product and have coeliac disease, an allergy or intolerance to oat or gluten, do not eat it.

"Instead return it to the store from where it was purchased for a full refund. For more information, please contact Ella’s Kitchen on 0330 016 5221 or email customercare@ellaskitchen.co.uk."

Ella's Kitchen advised in its point of sale notice: "If you have bought Ella's Kitchen Banana Multigrain Baby Rice as detailed above do not feed this to your little one."
