Products have been reported to contain peanuts that are not indicated on the packaging
The products allegedly contain peanuts that are not mentioned on the label.
The recalled items from the major supermarket chain have a best-by date of October 16, 2024.
The Food Standards Agency said: “If you have bought the above products and have a peanut allergy, do not eat them.
“Instead, return them to the Sainsbury’s store where they were purchased for a full refund or contact the Hain Daniels customer service team.”
A statement from Sainsbury’s said: “People who are allergic or extremely sensitive to peanuts may be at risk if they consume these products.
‘If you have bought one of the affected products with these codes and suffer from peanut intolerance, do not eat them.
“No other products have been affected by this issue. Sainsbury’s would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.”
It comes after a major supermarket pulled pesto pots from their shelves after they were found to contain salmonella – and customers were warned not to eat them.
Salmonella is a group of bacteria that causes food poisoning, so eating anything contaminated with the pest can cause unpleasant symptoms such as diarrhea and stomach cramps.
Young children and people over the age of 65 are at greater risk of becoming seriously ill from food poisoning caused by salmonella.
A recall warning issued by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) says Waitrose is recalling No1 Pesto alla Genovese because salmonella has been found in the products.
Affected are products with a use-by date of September 26.
A major supermarket chain has warned consumers who bought containers of pasta sauce not to eat their contents or risk food poisoning.
“Symptoms caused by salmonella usually include fever, diarrhea and abdominal cramps,” the FSA warned.
Instead, Waitrose advised customers to package the items and return them to their local branch for a full refund.
“We apologize that it was necessary to recall this product and for the inconvenience,” the chain said in a notice to customers at the point of sale.
Signs of an allergic reaction and anaphylaxis + what to do
Allergy SYMPTOMS usually appear within minutes of contact with the offending food or trigger, but can appear up to an hour later.
Most allergic reactions are mild, but they can also be moderate or severe.
Anaphylaxis is the most severe form of allergic reaction that can be life-threatening.
In some cases, the symptoms of anaphylaxis lead to collapse and unconsciousness, and in rare cases they can be fatal, so it is important to know how to recognize them and act quickly.
Mild to moderate symptoms include:
- Itching of the mouth, tongue and throat
- Swelling of the lips, around the eyes or face
- A red, raised, itchy rash (often called hives, hives or urticaria)
- Vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea
- Runny nose and sneezing
Severe symptoms of anaphylaxis include:
- Swelling of the throat and tongue
- Shortness of breath or very fast breathing
- Difficulty swallowing, throat tightness or hoarse voice
- Wheezing, coughing or noisy breathing
- Feeling tired or confused
- Feeling weak, dizzy or faint
- Skin that is cool to the touch
- Blue, gray or pale skin, lips or tongue – if you have brown or black skin, this can be more easily seen on the palms of your hands or soles of your feet
Anaphylaxis and its symptoms should be treated as a medical emergency.
Follow these steps if you think you or someone with you is having an anaphylactic reaction:
- Use an adrenaline auto-injector (such as an EpiPen) if you have one – instructions are included on the side of the injector.
- Call 999 and say you think you are having an anaphylactic reaction.
- Lie down – you can raise your legs, and if you find it difficult to breathe, raise your shoulders or sit down slowly (if you are pregnant, lie on your left side).
- If you have been bitten by an insect, try to remove the stinger if it is still in the skin.
- If your symptoms do not improve after 5 minutes, use another epinephrine auto-injector.
Do not stand or walk at any time, even if you feel better.
