Co-op Issues Urgent Food Alert Over Anchovies Health Risk
Histamine Warning on Co-op Anchovies
The Co-op has pulled its 50g pack of Anchovies in Olive Oil from shelves. The “best before end” date is September 2023. Why? Because high levels of histamine pose a health risk.
Who’s at Risk?
Anyone sensitive to histamine should avoid these anchovies at all costs. Histamine can cause nasty reactions like:
- Diarrhoea
- Shortness of breath
- Headaches
- Skin irritation
What To Do If You Have This Product
Do not eat the anchovies. Instead, take them back to your nearest Co-op store for a full refund.
If you’re self-isolating or shielding, contact Co-op customer care on 0800 0686 727 or email [email protected] for help.
