The products recalled and taken off of supermarket shelves due to alerts

Two new allergy alerts were published on the Food Standards Agency website this week, warning customers to return the affected items due to undeclared ingredients.

Two undeclared ingredients were discovered in two products on supermarket shelves, due to the result of a packaging error.

Vegan Store is recalling Go Max Go Buccaneer Candy Bar, and Taiko Foods is recalling Taiko Chicken Katsu Bites with Teri Mayo Sauce.

The Katsu Bites have been mispacked with prawn bites that contain crustaceans which are not mentioned on the label. Meanwhile, some Buccaneer Candy Bar packs have been incorrectly packed with a product which contains peanuts.
