Sainsbury’s withdraws a batch of Sainsbury’s Mandarin Jelly individual chilled pots due to incorrect labelling resulting in the presence of undeclared allergens

Wednesday 10 March 2010

Allergens: Milk, egg and gluten (wheat)

Ref: I-2010

Product

Sainsbury’s Mandarin Jelly 172g

Risk

Due to a packing error, a small number of packs contain Mandarin Royale (a dessert with layers of sponge, jelly and topped with cream), instead of Mandarin Jelly. Therefore the product contains milk, egg and gluten (wheat) which are not declared on the label. This makes the product a potential health risk for people who are allergic or intolerant to these allergens.

Product identification

Sainsbury’s Mandarin Jelly 172g – (chilled dessert packed in individual, single portion packs)
Use by: 14 March 2010

Action taken by the company

Sainsbury’s has withdrawn the affected batch from sale. In addition, the company has contacted the relevant allergy support organisations, which will inform their at risk members of the withdrawal. Notices will be displayed in all stores to alert consumers to the reasons for the withdrawal, and the actions they can take if they have purchased the product. A copy of the notice is attached to this allergy alert.

No other Sainsbury’s products are known to be affected

Advice to consumers

Customers with an allergy or intolerance to milk, egg and gluten (wheat) are advised not to consume this product.
