Co-op Lasagne Recall: Allergy Alert Sparks Urgent Warning
The Co-op has urgently recalled its Irresistible Luxury Lasagne Al Forno after undeclared allergens were found in the product. The 700g packs with a best-before date of November 17, 2024, may contain mustard and sulphites—both missing from the label. This is a serious health risk for allergy sufferers.
Undeclared Mustard and Sulphites Trigger Recall
Mustard and sulphites can cause severe allergic reactions, including life-threatening anaphylaxis. Symptoms like difficulty breathing, wheezing, and rapid heartbeat require immediate medical help. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has warned that the lasagne is “unsafe to eat” for anyone allergic to mustard or sensitive to sulphites.
What You Should Do Now
- If you bought this lasagne and suffer from mustard or sulphite allergies, do not eat it.
- Return the product to your nearest Co-op store for a full refund.
- If you still have the lasagne at home, dispose of it safely to avoid any risk.
The Co-op has alerted allergy support groups and placed warnings in stores across the UK. The FSA urges consumers to remain vigilant and check labels carefully to avoid allergic reactions.
