Asda withdraws Extra Special Beaujolais Villages 2006 wine
Wednesday 12 December 2007
Asda has withdrawn its own-brand Extra Special Beaujolais Villages 2006 wine because the product contains sulphur dioxide (sometimes known as sulphites), which is not mentioned on the label. This makes the product unsuitable for people who are sensitive to sulphur dioxide. The Agency has issued an Allergy Alert.
Anyone who is sensitive to sulphur dioxide is advised not to drink this product. Asthma sufferers have a sensitivity to sulphur dioxide and relatively small amounts may trigger an asthma attack.
Product details
- Asda Extra Special Beaujolais Villages 2006 Wine, 25cl
- All batch codes
Asda has withdrawn the product and will relabel with the correct allergy advice. No other Asda products are known to be affected.
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 Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.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.
Subscribing is a two-stage process. First of all, click on the link below. Click 'Subscribe' and insert your email address before submitting your request. Then we'll send you an email asking you to confirm by clicking on a link. This is to protect you against getting unwanted emails.
If you no longer wish to subscribe to email alerts, simply repeat the process but click on ‘Unsubscribe’ instead. Again, we’ll send you an email asking you to confirm the request. This is to prevent you being unsubscribed by someone else.
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.
