SAINSBURY'S has issued an urgent ‘do not eat’ warning after pulling popular crisps off the shelves over a serious label mistake . The major supermarket has issued an urgent recall for its own-brand Onion Rings due to a dangerous labelling error, which could pose a significant risk to people with food allergies. The 125g packs of onion rings, with a best before date of February 8, 2025, have been removed from shelves as they contain milk, soya, wheat or gluten, none of which are mentioned on the packaging.
This could be potentially life-threatening for customers with allergies to these ingredients or those with coeliac disease. Shoppers who have already bought the product are being urged not to eat the crisps and instead return them to their nearest Sainsbury’s store for a full refund. The supermarket has apologised for the mistake and has advised anyone with concerns to contact their helpline or visit their website for more information.
A spokesperson for Sainsbury’s said: “We are recalling our Onion Rings as a precautionary measure due to the presence of allergens that are not listed on the label. "We advise customers not to consume the product and return it for a refund. No other products are affected.
” The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has also issued an alert, warning that the product could pose a serious health risk for those with allergies or intolerances to milk, soya, wheat, or gluten. The FSA advises customers with any of these allergies to avoid the produc.
