Purepower Nutrition has issued an urgent recall for two of its products sold in Northern Ireland due to a mispacking error that poses a health risk to people with milk allergies. The affected items are the Chicken & Chorizo Paella (400g) and Chicken Chow Mein (400g), both with specific use-by dates.
The recall was prompted after it was discovered that the Chicken & Chorizo Paella had been mispacked with Chicken Chow Mein, which contains milk. This ingredient is not listed on the label, making it a potential risk for anyone with an allergy or intolerance to milk or milk constituents. As a precaution, the Chicken Chow Mein is also being recalled.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) confirmed that all batches of the Chicken & Chorizo Paella with use-by dates up to January 17, 2026, and Chicken Chow Mein with use-by dates up to January 15, 2026, are affected. Point-of-sale notices have been distributed to retailers, and customers are advised to return the products to the store of purchase for a full refund.
Purepower Nutrition's products are sold at various retailers, including Tesco. However, the recall only applies to purchases made in Northern Ireland from retailers other than Tesco, as Tesco stores in the region are not affected. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland has also issued a similar recall for the Republic of Ireland.
Customers who have bought the affected products are urged not to eat them and to return them for a refund. For any concerns, they can contact Purepower Nutrition at quality@purepowernutrition.com.
