Bart Spices recalls more coconut cream
Wednesday 12 December 2007
The Agency has issued an updated Allergy Alert in relation to a recall by Bart Spices Ltd of a batch of its Bart Coconut Cream (200ml) containing milk that is not declared in the ingredients list.
The two affected batches are unsuitable for people with a milk allergy and they are advised not to eat this product.
Product batch listed in Allergy Alert issued 12 December 2007
Product: Bart Coconut Cream, 200ml
Batch code: 7079
Best before: June 2008
Product batch listed in Allergy Alert issued 11 December 2007
Product: Bart Coconut Cream, 200ml
Batch code: 7215
Best before: November 2008
The original alert issued on 11 December can be found at the link below. No other Bart Spices Ltd products are known to be affected.
Bart Spices Ltd recalled the affected batches and has produced point-of-sale notices for displaying in stores to tell the public the reason for the recall and that customers can return the product for a full refund. In addition, the company has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will inform their at-risk members of the recall.
Allergy Alert
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 Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.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.
