Asda is the latest supermarket to recall a food product due to an undeclared ingredient.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) told Asda shoppers: “Asda is recalling Asda Classic Boneless Chicken Dinner Joint because it contains wheat (gluten) which is not mentioned on the label.

“This means the product is a possible health risk for anyone with coeliac disease, and/or an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten.”

The FSA issued a risk statement for customers affected by the food recall.

The risk statement read: “This product contains wheat (gluten) making it a possible health risk for anyone with coeliac disease, and/or an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten.”

The FSA assured customers that Asda has made steps to ensure their safety. It shared: “Asda is recalling the above product from customers and has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will tell their members about the recall.

“The company has also issued a recall notice to its customers. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.”

Asda’s product notice read: “This product may contain Gluten which is not declared on the packaging.

“If you have purchased ASDA Classic Boneless Chicken Dinner joint, UB 01 Oct, please bring it back to your nearest store where you will be given a full refund. You do not need your receipt.”

Asda apologised for any inconvenience caused to customers. Those who wish to contact Asda can do so on 0800 952 0101.

The FSA echoed this advice: “If you have bought the above product and have coeliac disease, and/or an allergy or intolerance to wheat or gluten, do not eat it. Instead return it to the store from where it was purchased for a full refund. For more information please contact Asda Customer relations on 0800 952 0101.”

The FSA said: “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 Then it might be ‘withdrawn’ (taken off the shelves) or ‘recalled’ (when customers are asked to return the product).

“Sometimes foods have to be withdrawn or recalled if there is a risk to consumers because the allergy labelling is missing or incorrect or if there is any other food allergy risk. When there is a food allergy risk, the FSA will issue an Allergy Alert.”
