Two Ready Meal Products Contain Wrong Allergen Labeling, Says FSA
Posted on: Wednesday, 24 September 2008, 12:00 CDT
UK's Food Standards Agency has announced that two ready meal products sold in Asda stores and smaller retailers do not have the correct allergen labeling.
According to the agency, it has been informed that both the products contain nuts and ghee (milk) but the product's allergen information only mentions the presence of seafood.
The products are: Secrets of the Sea Prawns Pulao, 285 grams and Secrets of the Sea Prawns Biriyani, 285 grams.
These are both long-life ready meals with a best before date of September 2009. Anyone with an allergy to nuts, milk and seafood is warned not to consume these products.
The importer, Tanjum, has told the Food Standards Agency (FSA) that it is relabeling the products and sending point-of-sale notices to its retail customers for display in their stores.
