A number of falafel products have been urgently recalled from the shelves over fears they may present a risk to people with coeliac disease and gluten intolerance.
Gosh! Food Ltd, which specialises in vegan and free-from snacks, has issued a warning over several products due to undeclared gluten, meaning they could be dangerous to people who have an allergy to the ingredient.
The items being recalled are Gosh Sweet Potato Pakora with Red Pepper, Cumin & Chilli 171g in 200g, 256g, 300g, and all dates up to and including 9 June 2023.

They have also recalled Gosh Sweet Potato Pakora with Red Pepper, 200g, 700g, for all all dates up to and including 9 June, The Deli Sweet Potato Pakora, 200g, with all date codes, The Deli Butternut squash, Tomato and Basil Falafel, 200g, all date codes and The Deli Moroccan Style Falafel, 200g, all date codes.
The alert was issued on Saturday 13 May by the government's Food Standards Agency due to levels of gluten which haven't been declared on the labelling of the product.
In a statement, the FSA said: "Gosh! is recalling the above products from customers and has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.
"The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers. These notices explain to customers why the products are being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the products. Please see the attached notice.
"If you have bought any of the above products and have coeliac disease, and/or an allergy or intolerance to gluten, do not eat them. Instead contact the supplier on hello@goshfood.com for a full refund."
