Iceland recalls cocktail sausage rolls
Friday 20 February 2009
Iceland has recalled some of its cocktail sausage rolls because some packs may contain Cheese and Onion Rolls instead of Cocktail Sausage Rolls. This means the product could be a possible health risk for people with an allergy or intolerance to celery, gluten (wheat), milk, mustard and/or sulphites. The Agency has issued an Allergy Alert.
Customers with an allergy or intolerance to celery, gluten (wheat), milk, mustard and/or sulphites are advised not to eat this product.

Iceland has recalled the affected products from sale. The company has also contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will inform their members of the recall. Notices have been displayed in all stores to explain to customers why the product has been recalled. Anyone who has bought the affected product can return it to the store for a full refund or call the customer care line on 01244 842 842. A copy of the product recall notice can be found at the link below.
Allergy alerts
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 Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.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. It is also possible to subscribe to an email alert system to receive automatic messages whenever Allergy Alerts are issued. Click on 'Get alerts' in the box at the bottom of this page to find more details.
You can get details of all the latest allergy alerts as soon as they're issued by getting the details sent as a SMS text message direct to your mobile phone.
