Popular ready meal urgently recalled over health risk — 'do not eat'

Popular ready meal urgently recalled over health risk — 'do not eat' Customers have been told not to eat the meal A popular dinner ready meal has been pulled from shelves and recalled from customers after a health risk was found. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has warned certain customers not to eat the meal. Carroll's of Tullamore's Traditional Lasagne has been recalled due to undeclared eggs and milk. These ingredients are not mentioned on the label, so the product poses a risk to people with allergies. The lasagne has only been sold in Northern Ireland. The FSA said: "This product contains egg and milk, making it a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to egg or with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents. "If you have bought the above product and have an allergy or intolerance to egg or an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents, do not eat it. Instead, return it to where you bought it for a full refund."

The company said: "A fault with back of pack label may have resulted in undeclared allergens in the product, and therefore the product should not be consumed by those who have an allergy to milk and eggs. "Back of pack label is incorrect on some of the batch and does not declare milk or egg. Some units have the vegan lasagne back of pack label which does not declare milk or egg which is present in the traditional lasagne. "Please dispose of the product and return the label to the store where you purchased it for a full refund. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your co-operation." Affected customers can contact Carroll's of Tullamore on (057) 936 3000, by email at [email protected] or by post to Carroll Cuisine, Burlington Business Park, Sragh Road, Tullamore, Co Offaly, R35F7X4. Why are allergy alerts issued? The FSA issues food alerts when there are problems with items, which means they should not be sold. It added: "Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). "Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect, or if there is any other food allergy risk. When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA will issue an Allergy Alert."
