UK supermarket issues 'do not eat' warning as it recalls curry ready meal

Waitrose has recalled one of its own-brand curry ready meals as it could cause allergic reactions.

The supermarket has pulled some batches of its Waitrose Indian Takeaway for two because some packs have been mispacked with spring rolls, which contain sesame and soya, and these allergens are not mentioned on the label.

This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to sesame or soya. Allergy symptoms can range from skin reactions to the swelling of the lips or face, or vomiting and diarrhea.

In a recall notice published online, Waitrose said: "We are recalling Waitrose Indian Takeaway for two due to undeclared soya and sesame. We apologise that it has been necessary to recall this product and for the inconvenience caused."

For all product recalls, you can check the Food Standards Agency and Chartered Trading Standards Institute websites. You should also notice recall notices in stores if they've pulled a product from shelves.
