Birds Eye issues urgent recall warning over popular frozen item
An urgent recall has been made by Birds Eye over allergy concerns. The recall concerns a batch of Goodfella's Stonebaked Thin Garlic Bread, sold at Co-op, due to undeclared milk.
The mislabelled package contains cheese garlic bread not mentioned on the label, which could pose a health risk for those with milk allergies. The Food Standards Agency notice stated: "The garlic bread has been mispacked with a garlic bread that contains cheese. This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents."
While most children outgrow cow's milk allergies, which affect 2-3 per cent of babies, it can cause severe reactions, including potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis for some individuals.
The implicated products have the batch code 5020 and a best-before date of December 2025. The FSA advises: "If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to milk, do not eat it. Instead return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund."
Goodfellas has issued an apology for any trouble caused but notes that no other batches or product lines are involved, reports the Express.
It's essential information for customers as even small traces of milk can set off allergic reactions, which are often manageable with antihistamines or an adrenaline auto-injector pen.
In other product recall news, Farmfoods had to recall packs of 50 Cocktail Sausage Rolls last month after discovering the batch actually contained cheese and onion rolls. Furthermore, Sainsbury's and Asda had to recall packs of McGhee's Family Bakers six Scottish Brown Rolls over allergen concerns.
