Shoppers across the UK are being issued an urgent product recall notice from retail giant Woolworths. A specific batch of its popular Seafood Salad has been pulled from shelves due to a potentially dangerous labelling error.
The product, which contains milk, fails to declare this allergen on its packaging. This omission poses a serious health risk to individuals with a milk allergy or intolerance, for whom consumption could lead to severe allergic reactions.
Product Details: What You Need to Look For
Customers are advised to immediately check their refrigerators for the affected product. The details are as follows:
- Product: Woolworths Seafood Salad
- Size: 300g
- Use-by date: 12 October 2023
The recall is specific to this batch. Other batches of Woolworths Seafood Salad or products with different use-by dates are not affected.
What Should Customers Do?
If you have purchased this product, do not consume it. Woolworths has instructed customers to return the item to their nearest store for a full refund. A receipt is not required to process the return.
The company has apologised for any inconvenience caused and is urging anyone concerned about their health to seek medical advice.
This recall highlights the critical importance of accurate food labelling and serves as a timely reminder for consumers with allergies to always double-check packaging, even on products they may have purchased before.
