Sainsbury's has urgently recalled a batch of its own-brand 'Slow Cooked Lamb Shoulder with Redcurrant Honey & Rosemary Glaze' due to the presence of undeclared milk, posing a possible health risk to those with allergies or intolerances. The supermarket is asking customers who have purchased the affected product not to eat it and to return it to any Sainsbury's store for a full refund.
The recall applies to 400g packs with a batch code of '8090642' and a use-by date of January 21, 2026. The product contains milk, which is not mentioned on the label, making it a potential risk for anyone with an allergy, intolerance, or sensitivity to milk or milk constituents.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has also issued an allergy alert, noting that Sainsbury's has contacted relevant allergy support organisations and displayed point-of-sale notices in stores. Customers seeking further information can visit the Sainsbury's website or call the careline on 0800 636 262.
Sainsbury's apologised for any inconvenience, emphasising that product safety and quality are of utmost importance. The FSA advises that when a food allergy risk is identified, products are withdrawn or recalled to protect consumers.
