Iceland is recalling packs of its 4 Chinese Pork Quarter Pounders because the product contains soya, which is not mentioned on the label.
This makes the product a possible health risk for those with an allergy to soya. The Agency has issued an Allergy Alert.
The product being recalled is:
Iceland 4 Chinese Pork Quarter Pounders, 454g
‘Best before’ date: 18 December 2013
Iceland has recalled the above product from sale. Point-of-sale notices will be displayed in stores, explaining why the product has been recalled.
The company has also contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.
If you have bought the above product and are allergic to soya, please do not eat it. Instead, return it to your nearest Iceland store for a full refund.
No other Iceland products are known to be affected.
Sometimes there will be a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold. Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.
In such situations the Agency will issue an Allergy Alert.
