Asda issues urgent ‘do not eat’ warning on popular side dish over fears it could cause food poisoning
Asda has issued a ‘do not eat’ warning for one of its popular side dishes over fears it could cause food poisoning.
It has recalled its own brand 10 Mini Duck Spring Rolls with Hoisin Dip because they have been labelled with an incorrect use by date.
The affected 200g packs with the use by date December 29, should have been packaged with the use by date November 29.
According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) who issued the alert, this ‘makes them unsafe to consume after the correct use by date’.
The FSA, issues recalls if there is a risk to consumers because the required allergy label is missing or incorrect, or if there is any other food allergy risk, meaning that a food product should not be sold.
In its alert, it says: ‘If you have bought the product do not consume it. Instead, please return it to your nearest store. You do not need a receipt.’
There will be point of sale notices in all retail stores selling the products, informing them why the product is being recalled and what to do if they have purchased it.
For more information customers are advised to contact Asda Customer Relations on 0800 952 0101.
