Supermarket giant Sainsbury's has issued an urgent product recall notice, instructing UK households to immediately return two popular chicken items purchased from its stores. The recall is due to serious allergen concerns that could pose a health risk to customers with specific allergies or intolerances.
Affected Products and Specific Risks
The first product being recalled is the JS Free From Breaded Mini Fillets 305g. Sainsbury's has confirmed that some batches of this product, which is marketed as being free from certain allergens, have been contaminated with milk. This milk is not declared on the label, making it a significant danger for anyone with a milk allergy or intolerance.
The second item is the THIS™ Chicken Deli Pieces. This product is subject to a separate recall due to a mislabelling issue. The packaging fails to declare that the product contains wheat (gluten) and soya. This omission could lead to severe allergic reactions for consumers who are sensitive to these ingredients.
What Customers Must Do Now
Sainsbury's has issued clear instructions for anyone who has purchased these items. Customers are being urged not to consume the products if they have an allergy to the undeclared ingredients.
Instead, they should return the items to their local Sainsbury's store. The supermarket has assured customers that a full refund will be given, and a receipt is not required for the return.
For the THIS™ Chicken Deli Pieces, Sainsbury's advises customers to check the supplier's website for the correct ingredient list. For further information or questions regarding the JS Free From product, customers can contact the Sainsbury's careline on 0800 028 8303 or visit the Sainsbury's website at Sainsburys.co.uk/help. For queries about the THIS™ product, customers should email shout@this.co.
The grocer has confirmed that no other products in the JS Free From or THIS™ ranges are affected by these issues and has apologised for any inconvenience caused.
