Sausages sold at Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and Morrisons have been urgently recalled due to a potential health risk for customers.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued a “do not eat” warning to many shoppers over the recalled sausages.
The Jolly Hog is recalling The Jolly Hog Leek Porkers 6 British Sausages from the major UK supermarkets because of an undeclared ingredient on the label.
The sausages contain milk not mentioned on the label, making them a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance.
The affected products are sold at Morrisons, Waitrose and Sainsbury’s and have a use by date of September 28.
An FSA spokesman said: “The Jolly Hog is recalling the above product from customers and has been advised to contact the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.
“The company has also issued a point-of-sale notice to its customers. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.
“If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, do not eat it.
“Instead return it to the store from where it was bought for a full refund. You can contact The Jolly Hog customer care via email info@jollyhog.com.”
What is a product recall?
If there is a problem with a food product that means it should not be sold, then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product).
The FSA issues Product Withdrawal Information Notices and Product Recall Information Notices to let consumers and local authorities know about problems associated with food.
In some cases, a 'Food Alert for Action' is issued.
This provides local authorities with details of specific actions to be taken on behalf of consumers.
