• Waitrose 15 Mini British Selection, 280g
• Use by: 02/12/07

Waitrose has recalled the affected batch from sale. Point-of-sale notices have been displayed in stores telling the public the reasons for the recall and that customers can return the affected product to Waitrose for a full refund. For further information, customers should call the Waitrose Customer Services Department on 0800 188884.

The company has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will inform their at-risk members of the recall.

No other Waitrose products are known to be affected.

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 Then it might be 'withdrawn' (taken off the shelves) or 'recalled' (when customers are asked to return the product). Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk.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.
